1 / Your story around padel.

Julien Chardon - I come from tennis and played with Claude Ritz the father of Jérémy Ritz, one of the best players in padel in France. And there, it is love at first sight ... I had to launch into the padel.

And here we are a few years later with this center of padel. this site is also a former tennis club which was no longer in operation. It took us a while to score the try.

Fred Gardet - I am more from football. We met with Julien through mutual friends. Julien put my foot in the stirrup and we said to ourselves that we had to embark on the adventure of padel.

We took two and a half years to find a space for our club padel. After 1 year of negotiations, we were able to establish ourselves on the site in the commercial area of ​​Mougins in the heart of the city.

At the start, we had to put 6 sites in Mandelieu. But the project was ultimately unsuccessful.

2 / Launch of the club

Julien and Fred - The club has been open since February 2016 and we have had a great start. Beyond what we expected. Today, we already have a hard core of around 200 players and the progression is constant.

A large part of the players have discovered the sport here. It is a new clientele of the Cannes basin. And thanks to our central location in Mougins, many people from Mougins also come to the club.

3 / On the tournament part

Julien and Fred - We had our first tournament padel. We are very satisfied with it. The players came from everywhere, from cassis, from Aix, etc.

And we intend to make other tournaments every month. The 24 last April, it was the mixed tournament. A very interesting tournament because there were many pairs, and it shows that this sport can really address everyone.

We will also have a stage of the national padel cup the whole month of September. (For more info: https: //padelmagazine.fr/event-organizer/national-padel-cup /)

4 / The inauguration

Julien and Fred - We will have the week preceding the Master of World Padel Tour, September 3 and 4, the inauguration of the club, but also an approved tournament. We will certainly have professional players who will come to demonstrate padel. We can not wait to be there !
