You entered a field “to see”… and here you are, 3 sessions per week, scanning the free slots on your booking app.
Welcome to the (very addictive) world of padel.

1. A sport designed for immediate pleasure

Padel is anti-frustration : the ball comes back, the field is small, we can catch up, and above all… we laugh a lotLearning is fast, exchanges are long, and the feeling of progress is immediate.

“I never played sports before. Now I play four times a week,” says Julie, 4, who became addicted after a game with colleagues.

2. Hormones that work for you

When you play, your brain releases dopamine, the pleasure hormone. Like after a good meal, a good laugh or a victory at a video game. Result: you want moreAnd since padel is social, you add oxytocin (the social bonding hormone). A winning combo.

3. Padel is your new night out

No more beer at the bar: now it's padel + mixed board + non-alcoholic mojito.
Padel has become a place to live, to meet, even to seduce.

“I met my partner on a field,” says Thomas, 31.
And you? Still single?

4. Ever sexier equipment

Once you start, it's hard to resist the temptation of new carbon pala, ultra-light shoes or a bag that matches your club.
Brands have understood this well: padel is also an art of living.

5. You are always “one step away” from the perfect match

Even after 10 defeats in a row, there is this part where “everything happens”, this anthology match between friends… And that’s enough to make you dive back in.
This is what padel is: pleasure always within reach.
