We were able to demonstrate that the private centers of padel do not orient themselves in the same way. Some offer lessons, some don't, some offer tournaments, some don't.

So we see that the centers have a different offer, and therefore a different clientele. Jean and Brice orient their offer " padel »Towards leisure and hardly any competition while Victor offers many events around competition.

Moreover, the clientele will depend on the overall offer of activities. That is to say that a center like the one in which Jean and Brice work, we find grassroots sportsmen in football who try their hand at padel, even if this clientele remains lower in number compared to tennis players for example.

However, we will find a percentage of footballers who play padel larger in the center of Jean and Brice rather than in that of Victor: " Not necessarily because there is still a big reference. They still brew an impressive world, so in net numbers, I would not say there are more footie here, but compared to the percentage of practitioner, I think yeah »[1].

Pierre studied STAPS, and validated a master's degree in sports management, after studying in Reims, Frankfurt and Lille. I discovered the padel in 2014 during my Erasmus year in Frankfurt thanks to a Spanish friend. Damn it is good padel !
