The relaunch of padel in Spain did not go well. Misunderstandings will finally make it possible to resume activity in a serene manner.

On May 25, Spain announced the resumption of padel 2 against 2 in all clubs. Except that few people were aware that the activity could not be resumed in indoor clubs.

After challenges from certain federations, the desire not to open certain clubs, the 2-speed opening of others and even after sanctions for clubs that had opened, action had to be taken.

It is therefore this weekend that the Spanish Federation agreed with the authorities to give a precise and clear message to all the infrastructures of padel.

In phase 1, with an appointment, we can play 2 against 2 in a capacity of 30% of the sports facilities, and group lessons up to 10 people.

The conditions in phase 2 are the same as in phase 1.

In phase 3, a 2v2 game, 50% of the club's total capacity, group lessons up to 20 people. No need to make an appointment.
