This section is based on the analysis of the occupancy of 14 clubs of Padel in France for 5 weeks last fall.

Understand the occupation of a club Padel

First of all I want to develop something. If someone comes to you and says, " your tracks will be occupied on average X hours a day, it serves you for nothing ».

I explain myself through an invented example. Suppose you have 3 tracks of Padel and that they be occupied as follows every day of the year.

The first way to look at it is as follows:

1 track is busy 4h

2 track is busy 4h

3 track is busy 2h

We therefore have 10 hours of occupancy in all, which makes an average of 3,33 hours per day. Great ! you will say to me, my leads are profitable! FALSE and archi FALSE!

The real approach you need to have in mind when analyzing your runway occupancy rate is to look at "how often do you need a runway to meet demand?" How often do we need 2 tracks? and 3 tracks? "

Let's do the same calculation now.

We need a track during 8 time slots of the day (8h).

We need a second track to meet demand during 2 time slots of the day (2h).

We never need the 3rd track during the day because the three tracks are never occupied at the same time!

This means that the occupancy rate of a club Padel is stepped as in the graph below.

So if you build 3 tracks of Padel and that a builder comes to tell you "you will see your tracks will be profitable because on average we have an occupancy rate of X hours per lot" he is not a serious builder!

In the example I gave you, the first two tracks are profitable, the last is a loss of money and area.
