Max Moreau, the French number 5, vice-champion of France in padel 2016 with Laurent Bensadoun, coach and player for the Padel Riviera Mougins already has a CV padel long as the arm.

Yet it is only at the beginning of his career padelistic. And his travels go beyond France since Senegal is also a land that he particularly appreciates. Back on his adventure with the team Padel Riviera Mougins at La Palmeraie Sporting Club.

So soon to coach in Senegal?

No, I fully intend to continue to cross swords at the Mougins club, but I fell in love with this club from padel in Senegal. People are great there. We were received like royalty. And we wish with the Mougins team to return there of course.

Have you forged links with La Palmeraie Sporting Club?

Indeed, Padel Riviera Mougins has developed a partnership with La Palmeraie Sporting Club, which is the club of padel in Saly in Senegal with its 2 padel.

There is in this club, a very beautiful mentality with the controls Caroline, her husband Geoffrey and Jean-Pierre (the father of Geoffrey).

A family club that you feel.

Around these 2 fields of padel, we have activity on the 5-a-side football field, in the swimming pool with the aquabike and a fitness room. One of the club's nerve centers: its restaurant / bar area.

But how did this relationship with the Senegalese club come about?

Jean-Pierre came to play in Mougins. This is how a relationship was born between the Senegalese club and the Mougins club.

The next goal?

The goal is to bring in players from padel French and take them to Senegal to discover the country, the culture, but also to train in padel at the same time. In short, we link the useful to the pleasant.

There are a lot of players and a community of 25 good players. The padelers who come to the club will therefore be far from feeling alone. There is everything you need here to have fun and have a good time.

One of the next steps is that the Senegalese club come in turn to the Mougins club.

How is a typical day going?

We play very early in the morning. From 8h to 11h. Then we replay from 17h to 23h. During the day, it is very difficult to play because it is very hot. The goal is to take advantage to discover the place and rest.

When we are on the field with Fred (Manager of the Mougins club), we give some advice to the players and then we just play.

A top organization?

The club is just great. The organization of the club is perfect. Caroline has done a very good job at the club. Geoffrey and Jean-Pierre put us really well with the dream villa. You are Fan of padel, come to the club, you will enjoy yourself!
