Roque Roasio is the president ofInternational Padel Senior Tour (ISPT), and he is convinced that seniors are a very important growth vector for the padel.

Seniors are the present

"I believe that the padel is very broad, we who have known the great years of padel in Argentina, in the 90s, this is how we see it: veterans are a very interesting age group for the padel since this public there, in addition to renting tracks of padel in clubs, buy all the products that the padel can suggest.

Obviously, young people are the future of padel and in particular from padel professional, but the seniors are there, and I think they should have the place they deserve. ”

Seniors and professionals

“The goal of ISPT is to make seniors feel treated like professionals in our tournaments, we still have things to improve before that happens but we will get there.

We have to offer them services: fruits, drinks, an exclusive VIP area, physiotherapy, transfers from their hotel so that they arrive directly at the club and that they are received like stars… of course, this has a cost, but ISPT is in its early stages and I know we will be able to provide all of these services shortly."

The greatest purchasing power

We quite agree with what Roque said. Seniors are the age group with the greatest purchasing power, and they are generally willing to pay more for superior service. They can also, in addition to introducing friends or colleagues to padel, offer courses in padel to their children.

Seeing the padel like a fun and festive activity, they are generally the first to have a drink or a bite to eat with friends after their game and therefore run the clubhouses. Veteran tournaments always take place in the right atmosphere because ce audience is not only focused on results and competition.

As Roque Roasio says, seniors deserve to have more competitions intended for them. When will the French championships +35, +40, +45, +50 etc., like in tennis?
