I have no data on the distribution of club income in France. In Spain, on the other hand, my experience and a study by the Madison agency carried out with Spanish clubs shows that club income is distributed as follows in descending order: Rental of pitches, the school of Padel, annual memberships, events and tournaments, the bar.

In France, the distribution is and will be more or less the same. We can add “snowshoe sales” as a source of additional income. Indeed, unlike Spain, the racket market is completely new and the market is not saturated. Every new player needs a racket. Sporting goods distribution chains that do not yet offer a real section Padel (I sometimes see a racket walking around in the “other sports” section of certain sports stores), the clubs find themselves in a privileged and dominant position to sell the rackets of Padel.
