Young French people who are padel today, can they become professionals? The first generation of padel had children. Some players, sometimes very talented, say they are frustrated not to have started earlier with a real infrastructure of padel. Should we transfer this frustration to our children? Is it good for their development of our sport?

Those who discovered the padel more than 10 years ago, who have seen it evolve so much in its structure, in the development of the material, of the mediatization and by its expansion throughout the world, today have children and say to themselves (perhaps ) that there is a playing card.

As in all sports, there are many people at the start and few who manage to break through. Physical abilities, techniques, sacrifices and many other factors come into play to make a champion.

Many specialists say that it is interesting to offer a child several sports so that he develops his physical, intellectual and social capacities. But we are lucky because the padel brings together many of these capabilities.

  • Independence and the ability to adapt to the outside world. Although playing in 2, the padel asks for a self-demand to satisfy his partner in order to have his confidence in return. In front of us, a team, always different against which we will have to fight and especially adapt.
  • Increases physical abilities In a world increasingly sedentary, what better than to practice sports. The best is to adapt to the rhythm of the child, favor in the first place the good spirit and the good atmosphere on the ground. The child will be aware soon enough of the existence of tournaments, and if he wants to participate accompany him, but do not force anyone.
  • It is an easy sport to practice. Physiologically, the padel develops muscle strength, coordination, fights against obesity and releases endorphins which make you feel good. It develops motor skills through movement, balance. Socially it brings a great relationship with partners, self-control of emotions and stimulates maturity.
  • Brings tactical knowledge The fact of sharing time on a field where it is difficult to win the point from the windows and grilles, the child will bring solutions to his problems to finally get to the point.

Le padel is a sport where one can have fun quickly, between friends or in family, which keeps in shape as much the body as the spirit, which improves the communication and the family relations, which brings important values ​​like the “companionship”, commitment, surpassing oneself, sacrifice and motivation.

Let's start by putting these values ​​forward, let the children be good people, and when the time comes, if they decide, we will be there to accompany them to the stars.
