Politicians / Elects believe in it

At the inauguration were present:

  • Maurice Leroy MP and President of the County Council. Former Minister of the City.

  • Thierry Grandgreorges le general secretary of the Central League of the FFT
  • Christian Emonet Chairman of the County Committee of Tennis from Loir et Cher
  • Pascal Usseglio Regional Councilor
  • sports assistants of the city

Shortly before the exhibition of padel made by France Padel Pro, the former Minister of the City, Maurice Leroy tried his hand at padel and explained to us that he was astonished at “theaccessibility of this sport". And it is more generally this message that the representatives of the FFT and the region made during their speeches.

How financed this project?

A very generous generosity and crowdfunding in Vendôme. Eric Regnard, the President of the Vendome Tennis Club also made it clear during his speech because he explained that "all the actors of the city had participated in the adventure of padel". Even the club house has been renovated thanks to the 35 volunteers that count the club!

More precisely, the lands of padel cost a total of 100.000 € “40% city hall, 30% region, 15% private sponsorship, 15% club".

A winning quartet since the club was able to complete its project of padel.

VW Sports has also been widely thanked for its work in building the pitches for padel. "Thanks to their work, we were able to offer these fields of padel before the summer holidays".

Why is this club building padel ?

First, the USV suffered from a low land occupation rate. In addition, it only worked 3 months a year.

The idea was therefore to replace this tennis court, complicated to maintain by 2 tennis courts. padel.

The advantage: This was a new activity in the region and doubled the occupation of space. At least, that's the goal of the club and it's off to a good start.
