Why is it interesting to get started in padel ? Why the padel can sport come to boost the life of a club? If the reasons are numerous, we will focus on 3 main reasons.

1 / The Padel is part of the FFT

First, the padel is part of the French Tennis Federation. For us, this is a big plus, because it is one of the largest sports federations in the world. Its striking force is important. Featuring a tournament Grand Chelem, we witnessed in 2015 the enormous advantage of being at the FFT. A land of padel during Rolang Garros allowed this sport to accentuate its development in France and internationally.

The FFT is also the head of 8.000 tennis clubs. If that's a benefit and a threat. Because indeed, a project leader must be careful not to launch his activity near a tennis club whose ambition is to offer padel.

Still, these words are to be taken with much measure because there are many private clubs in tennis. Building is expensive and town halls are less and less inclined to spend even more on a sport they do not know very well (even if it evolves).

And then a club of padel is not a tennis club. Associate them why not, but 100% clubs padel can be an advantage.

2 / The padel in the mood of time

Then, the padel is in tune with the times. A sport accessible to all ages, a team sport and a not very expensive sport (even if the clubs of padel located in large cities will be more expensive than in the provinces). Count 20 € to 30 € at 4 for an hour.

We see more and more mainstream media disseminating information around the padel. We have even seen major national media promoting our sport for a short year and on a recurring basis.

We don't think it's a fad, because the whole world is agitated around this sport. The padel is in development in many countries. England, Germany, Sweden, Italy, but also Tunisia, Australia, Japan ...

3 / Requires little space

Finally, the grounds measure 200m², ie 3 times less than a 648m² tennis court. In areas where there is little space, the padel can do the trick, while still allowing 4 players to play.

A piece of land costs around € 20.000 excluding tax. Please note that this is an average price and that a piece of land, by adding a certain number of options including the slab (around 8.000 € HT), actually costs more. But as a whole, a court costs less than a tennis court for example. And above all, against 2 on a tennis court, up to 12 players can be played on 3 tennis courts. padel
