Once that is said and understood regarding the profitability of a club padel, we can move on to the results of my study on the occupancy rate of the 14 clubs of Padel.

I focused on the 1, 2 and 3 track occupancy of each club to create the graphs below.

Graph 24 shows the average hours occupied per day and per track. Reading example: the 14 clubs studied need on average a track for 6,84 h (i.e. 6 h 50 min). They need on average a second track lasting 4,24 h (i.e. 4 h 15 min)… etc.

The average on Chart 24 is real but it does not seem useful to private investors and associations who want to get into the Padel. Indeed, an average unites both top clubs and bad clubs.

What to expect if tomorrow we create looking structure Padel within his multisport or within his tennis club?

The 25 graph answers this question. By analyzing the smaller clubs and speaking with some tennis centers, I come to the conclusion that a realistic average occupancy per day (average smoothed on 7 days) for a club that starts is the following (In indoor on would have between 15% and 25% more on average).

We can see that track 3 for a small structure that is just starting out is not profitable at all. I strongly advise all tennis clubs to start with two tennis courts. Padel. This allows you to have enough land to organize tournaments, and it's a good start to see how the sport is developing without investing too much money. The idea is that, two years later, the structure comes close to the averages of Chart 24.

Graph 26 shows the average of the “tops” French clubs on their first 3 tracks. This gives a picture of what a club Padel well managed, dynamic, in an area with high potential can generate results.
