Building padel courts in schools is becoming increasingly common. Let's analyze the reasons behind this phenomenon.

Even in schools and university campuses, padel is becoming an increasingly established reality. Although this phenomenon was limited exclusively to Spain until a few years ago, it is now no longer uncommon to see students from all over the world playing padel during their school day.
But what are the reasons that explain the success of the alliance between padel and school, and what factors should be taken into account to carry out this type of project? Let's find out in this article!

What are the reasons for padel’s success in schools?

The combination of padel and school is proving successful both socially and logistically:
 High social interaction :  padel is fun, played in teams, and particularly suitable for organizing tournaments among students. All this encourages social interaction, teamwork, and strengthens interpersonal relationships.
 Ease of learning :  padel is undoubtedly easy to learn at any age and provides great satisfaction in a very short time without requiring any particular physical ability or technical training.
 Space required  : a padel court occupies only 20x10 m and can easily be installed in a school garden or university campus.
 Low maintenance  : a padel court is generally a type of sports facility that does not require much upkeep.

How to choose the perfect padel court to install in a school?

The most crucial aspect of this type of project is obviously student safety. Padel is not considered a dangerous sport, but one cannot ignore the fact that a padel court consists of a cage made of metal and glass, against which players may bump during play. And to minimize the risk of injury, making informed choices in this regard can make a big difference.

NXPadel ,  an innovative Italian padel court manufacturer, has always made safety one of the pillars of its mission in this sector. Thanks to its structure made of  Fiberglass construction and , a material much more resistant and elastic than metal, it is possible to ensure cushioned and perfectly absorbed impacts on the court's fences. Moreover, being chemically rustproof and featuring an anti-abrasive profile, no one will risk injuries or abrasions upon impact with the structure.

However, the most significant feature is undoubtedly their ComfortGlass, the first safe and unbreakable glass for padel. Thanks to its acrylic composition, it ensures soft and safe body impacts and, unlike traditional tempered glass, does not risk breaking.

All this, of course, without compromising compliance with the game parameters set by the IPF.

And speaking of school and padel, it is precisely thanks to the combination of these features that just a year ago NXPadel was able to carry out a project that fulfills its goal of making this sport more accessible, practical, and safe for everyone.
Padel made its absolute debut in an American school, at a private high school in Austin, Texas, which for the occasion chose three padel courts in  Fiberglass construction and  et  ComfortGlass  to complete its already extensive sports offer.
