From football 5 to padel

The CENTRAL CLUB was inaugurated on 1 July 2008. He resumed the planned closing of the CENTRAL SQUASH in the CENTER of TOURS.

It took a year for OLIVIER ARNAULT and 3 of its partners to design the complex by creating 6 squash courts and 4 badminton courts and 2 indoor football fields, the first 2 fields on TOURS (innovative at the time) which worked very well until the opening at 800 meters of an exclusive 5 2012 football complex. It was also in 2012 that the Central Club's orders were left to Jean-Charles GONTERO, president of the squash center league.

Tristan Herdalot, one of the managers of the club explains as well asFrom this date, the departure of the players forced the club to imagine another discipline instead. An innovative discipline, fun, accessible for all."

“The adventure padel materializes"

Olivier ARNAULT, the club's main shareholder, discovered the PADEL at LA CIOTAT in 2014. A group of students in close liaison with the manager of the Club, Jean-Charles GONTERO is carrying out a commercial and development study concerning the replacement of the 2 indoor soccer fields. Out of 3 studies, it is the padel which seemed to bring together all the keys to a renewal.

Assessment: There will be padel in Tours this weekend.

The club's objective is to introduce this new discipline to the population of TOURS, to create an association to be able to organize competitions.

Depending on demand, a short 2 project in the coming months is possible and envisaged.
