(Built last June).

Jean-Christophe Schaffo, Chairman and CEO of Tennispro, has also become a padel "Addict"!

Very nice initiative this day to promote the padel which is still behind in the Grand Est region, compared to other regions with the following program:

* PlayTest on the court of padel All day long,

* discovery of the different snowshoes padel thanks to the presence of several brands,

* exhibition match with very good local players including Stéphane Heyd (Regional Tennis Technical Advisor, qualified this weekend to play in the interregions of padel) and the participation of the coach / player Kristina Clément, who came especially from Nice to provide her expertise, advice and anecdotes on the padel

* raffle to end the day and win prizes related to the world of padel.

Spared by the rain, the day was a great success with more than a hundred visitors, testers at the Tennispro Campus. All this in the presence of the Secretary General of the Alsace Tennis League, Lionel Mangold, who proved to be very motivated to develop the practice of Padel in Alsace, particularly in tennis clubs, so that clubs benefit from the synergies of these two practices.

A second edition of discovery day PADEL on Campus Tennispro as well as the organization of an official tournament are already being organized for 2018.
