Le  national training center Padel (CNEP) , will open its doors to  Vichy  en  September This ambitious project marks a major step in the development of padel in France.

 A center of excellence in the heart of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes 

The CNEP will be located within the  Sporting Club of Vichy , a few steps from  CREPS Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes , in a privileged natural environment. It will include  12 padel courts  : 6 interior and 6 exterior, as well as  13 renovated tennis courts These modern infrastructures have been designed to accommodate both the country's best young hopefuls and the French team training camps.

The objective is clear:  train the French elite of tomorrow , while structuring the high level. The young residents, aged  12 to 18 year-olds , will benefit from a  tailor-made training course , combining technical training, medical monitoring, physical preparation and academic support.

 High-level facilities, strong ambition 

The players welcomed will have access to the facilities of the  Renovated CREPS , which offers quality accommodation, a full catering service, and a cutting-edge health/performance center:  recovery rooms ,  weight training areas ,  integrated medical center ...

In addition to training players, the CNEP will also be a  training center for high-level coaches , an  gathering place for national teams  and  host site for international competitions .

I discovered padel directly during a tournament, and frankly, I didn't really like it at first. But the second time, it was love at first sight, and since then, I haven't missed a single match. I'm even ready to stay up until 3am to watch a final of Premier Padel !
