Compete with the tennis school

Now the club has become the benchmark in Novara and is home to the whole first school of padel City. The health crisis which hit Italy head-on did not spare the practice of sport, which slowed down the development of the club. The influx of practitioners has logically slowed down but the curve is despite everything on the rise : “I would say this is the sport with the fastest growing trend,” says Bottini. With the lockdown, team sports have been suspended. Tennis and padel have had more followers.

Our goal is to expand and reach the same level as tennis schools, as well as create a Padel Academy ”. This opening should be accompanied by a tournament open to 4 age categories. Proof that the renewed interest in padel in Italy is growing, the Novara club remains open until 21:30 p.m. on weekdays (20 p.m. on weekends) with undeniable success.
