Here is the project as it was published in the Ensemble's official program for Another Tennis :

“We offer a ambitious federal program in order to instill a real culture padel et to attract new practitioners beyond the sphere with a policy of proximity to clubs (training and development plan, upward communication).

Relations between private structures and clubs must be calmed down, and “win-win” rules must be established. Finally, international relations must be normalized in order to avoid seeing two European championships a few days apart.

For the years to come, our objective will be to involve in a concrete and lasting way the padel in all federal organizations to make it an integrated practice.

Develop the padel

    • Develop mass practice (leisure), real future of the activity by communicating with former tennis players, businesses and families, emphasizing the collective, friendly and mixed aspect (padel feminine).
    • Create an identity specific to padel with the creation of a specific license padel (price lower than that of tennis, reduction in case of double license, smoothing on hourly rental) and mention on the license (such as refereeing qualifications).
    • Reorient resources towards mass practice and operations in clubs (open days, etc.)
    • Do a true promotion at Roland-Garros (discovery area) but also in all ATP / ITF tournaments (depending on available space - establishment of contract).
    • Establish a White Book (methodology) intended for clubs which integrates technical aspects (construction, federal referent, economic aspect, clarifying funding, etc.), development (research for new licensees, animation) and training (teaching, arbitration, training school padel for young people, initiation for adults).
    • Build bridges and establish agreements with private structures and benefit from their experiences as a source of development, not competition. Draw inspiration from foreign experiences for training in France.
    • Establish links with the Spanish federation and Spanish private structures to provide us with valuable feedback and help us establish a 10-year development plan.
    • Suggest a intelligent network of the territory (quality and not quantity, with rebalancing of equipment in the Leagues) and train Development Advisors in equipping padel.
    • To create a College of independent experts to clarify and harmonize the offer in the manufacture of structures padel.
    • Develop at national competition plan for all (seniors +, young people) and create a team championship at national level.
    • Better accompany the elite and ask them for rewards (in the form of animation days in exchange for financial assistance).
