Monkey padel opened its jungle in the world of padel in October 2021 not far from Salon-de-Provence. After 43 tournaments, 16 rising/falling, 536 kegs of beer, liters of coffee, quantities of bananas and countless giggles, we can say that this jungle quickly became populated. Around the first club in the Salon area, the craze was immediate.

Back to this club and its many players.

Four tracks in the middle of nature

It must be said that with four tracks in the middle of nature, the setting is unique, there is no equivalent except the atmosphere in the clubhouse.

A real place of life, exchange and sharing, the Monkey Padel has become a place where we have a good time between players and non-players.

Ascents/descendants, approved tournaments, summer evenings, team building, training, there is everything you need to practice padel in the best way.

Many tournaments are organized, at the rate of two to three per month.

A majority of new players

If you've never played a tournament within the club, you've never really played a tournament, jokes Anthony Delbarre, club director.

“With the owners of the club, we wanted to make a place of life around the padel and it went first through the tournaments, we wanted to create days padel with breakfast, lunch, aperitif all mixed with a large dose of padel. Given the return of participants who are always enthusiastic to come back, I think we have succeeded in our bet”.

Today, nearly 1200 customers come to play at the Monkey padel the majority of whom discovered the padel with the opening of the club, the customers of the first hour are still present today.

A story of friends

Frédéric Saouchi alias ZAOU: 

“I dreamed of a place of life and conviviality around sport. I am overwhelmed because the reality is beyond what I had imagined.

It's ultimately a story of friends becoming partners to promote the padel on a territory that they particularly like.

What fills me is to give a smile to our members to hear them tell us that they had a good time, that they feel at home with us.

Everyone is welcome at the Monkey padel and everyone is there. Some stroll on the terrace, others let off steam on the grounds, but we all get together to have fun during our evenings.

All this is possible thanks to a crazy team, caring monkeys who are committed to making the monkey live as we imagined it..

A year later I feel lucky..."

Proud of this club

Frédéric Morfin alias DEGUN:

"We are very proud of the enthusiasm that our club has experienced in such a short time, but even more proud of our members who bring their good humor and their sympathy every day, the atmosphere that reigns there exceeds all our expectations, as much during tournaments only during our “Singeries” (summer evenings!)

Proud also to have been able to offer four jobs today (a club director, two extras and a cleaning lady), also proud to participate in the economy of the Salon area by working mainly with local service providers: window washing, plumber, landscaper, metal work, wood work, masonry, grounds maintenance, local beers, cheeses and charcuterie, wines, etc.).”
