Le  padel in japan  celebrates its  4 années  of existence. 4 years of work, passion, led by  koji nakatsuka , the president of  Japan Padel Association .

Japanese padel is becoming one of the powers of our sport across the globe. An example of work, of interest in foreign methods to create its own identity.

Now  4 années  that this sport has landed in a country where space is limited. We find  clubs and tracks on the roofs of shopping malls , construction techniques prepared for the fury of the earth, and above all such a love for this sport that everything is good to pass it on to future generations.

Le  president of Japan Padel Association , also president for several weeks of the Asia-Pacific Committee of the FIP, tells us about the evolution of this new sport in his country.

Difficult beginnings with  investors who did not want to bet on this sport . We had to convince, show, bring in champions so that projects emerge from the ground. After a few months,  Padel is so popular that it has even appeared in some universities .

Today, padel in Japan, after only 4 years, has 27 courts in 14 clubs for a total of 500 licensed players and  15 occasional / leisure players .

A painstaking job for this part of the world where a lot of things have to be imported. It takes time, we know how to take it to do things well, in order and discipline.

Happy birthday and long live Japanese padel.
