The French Tennis Federation, which manages the development of padel in France, is a real force for the evolution of our sport.

There are obviously things to improve, the FFT readily acknowledges. Padel Magazine do not hesitate to modestly bring some lines of thought.

But after the meeting of the executive committee, which took place last Friday, the French Tennis Federation made talk about it in the world of padel. And for good! In fact, we can see that it multiplies initiatives and investments for the development of padel, not being afraid to innovate completely.

Among the innovations, we can cite the TFT-TV, which will allow everyone to be able follow some steps P2000 – FFT PADEL TOUR on their computer or TV for free (with internet connection and via its platform)  ! Our Spanish colleagues are even amazed by this investment for the padel and allow themselves to note that in Spain, their Federation “does absolutely nothing of the sort for their elite. French players have an incredible chance."

Le FFT PADEL TOUR, the elite circuit of the FFT is also a lot of talk. In particular his stages in public squares. Because to date, France is the only country that invests so much for “democratize the padel and introduce it to the general public ” explained to us one of the main architects of this circuit, the elected official in charge of padel, Hubert Picquier. He does not hide his desire to share thisgood practices for all FIP members.

We have also seen that by providing coaches of the French teams of young assistants, the FFT does not hesitate to invest in high level for future generations. The appointment of Thierry pham as high level manager padel, is the perfect example.

In addition, the current players of the France team who have tried the adventure of World Padel Tour are helped by the FFT in their project, and it's not about to stop. The creation of a CNE is also a big investment for high-level development in France.

The high level but not only, in fact, the CNE will normally be able to welcome players of all levels. In addition, the FFT continues to help tennis clubs to equip themselves with padel throughout the territory, which is a major vector for the development of our sport. Private clubs are not forgotten since the P25 and the FFT Padel Tour benefit them. Even if it must be admitted, the private clubs hope that “the FFT will have a more balanced policy with its authorized clubs“. But does the FFT have all the tools to be able to respond favorably to private clubs?

Finally, due to its planetary influence, it can make a excellent publicity at padel worldwide, thanks in particular to Roland Garros, where she installed land of padel ephemeral since 2015. There is no doubt today: the FFT is investing heavily in padel, a sport that has more followers every day.
