Tournaments and events: Winning formula
As every year, the Lyonnais club had focused on welcoming the competitors by providing them individually. But not only ! Indeed, always motivated by the firm desire to please the players, the organizers had planned to organize a nimations in parallel with the tournament culminating in an evening on Saturday.
As a reward for their efforts, the members of the TCDC padel commission had the pleasure of seeing the players extend the tournament well after the last shots of the palas in a festive and friendly atmosphere. It is a source of pride that is always more motivating to bring to life Padel in West Lyon for a dynamic team that will continue to add new volunteers at the start of the school year.
Let it be said, padel is doing well in Dardilly and the whole team is already looking forward to seeing all the padel players in Lyon next year for a summer tournament that is intended to become a permanent fixture and to be included in the calendar every first weekend in July.
