The answer is yes, and here is more than a year that some enthusiasts have embarked on the adventure.

Julien Bondia, player of padel French and expatriate in Tenerife fell in love with Senegal.

« It wasn´t easy because we don´t have anything here: no equipment, no rackets, no balls. We had to bring everything by boat »Says owner Jordi Rovira of Padel Saly in Senegal.

And little by little the bird is nesting.

First of all the club of Padel Saly, then 2 other clubs made their appearance. There is even talk of creating clubs in Dakar.

What was very interesting during our visit is to see this enormous cultural mix that there is inside these clubs: Spanish, French, Senegalese, Lebanese and so on.

And as few relaxation activities are organized in the area, these clubs are diversifying to offer a wide range of activities: Judo, Spinning, Dance, Crossfit, Aquagym, Yoga, and even activities dedicated to children during school holidays.

Efforts are made so that the players evolve and improve their game. Lastly our technician Pierre Lamouré went to the country of the hospitality to lavish his knowledge.

But these clubs, although enjoying the sun and a much more pleasant temperature all year round, are faced with a problem: The need for players.

International tournament Padel Saly

One of the solutions found is to create international tournaments, open to all, this is the case of Padel Saly who offers his 1er International Open Padel SIUX from 10 to 16 April 2017.

The other solution is to offer sun holidays and Padel.

Many other topics are on the table, but for now they are kept secret.

Ideas and the future for all these structures to whom we wish welcome and long life.
