Work and Padel, it is the young shoot which rises in the landscape of Padel in France.
Created at the end of 2017 by Dorian Bargigli, former tennis teacher and ex-manager of Tennis-Padel club of the Cassis peninsula, the Marseillaise Start Up aims to become a benchmark player in the joint markets of Padel and Quality of Life at Work.
The concept is original: to install structures Padel within companies in order to develop well-being in the company through sports practice directly in the workplace.
The first sites launched on the Aix region in 2018 at HOPPS GROUP and CHATEAU DE LA PIOLINE are a success: the crowd is huge (more than 300 players / week) and employees plebiscite this "new" sport fun, accessible and friendly: in short, the perfect sport in business.
After having taken over the Marseille multi-sport complex 13 BY PUMA (8 FUTSAL and 1 PADEL INDOOR) in Co-Management last April, Work&Padel has just struck a big blow: from June 3 it is installing a field of Padel for several months in one of the most beautiful shopping centers in France: Les DOCKS VILLAGE in the Joliette district of Marseille.
The objective is twofold: to promote both the W&P concept as well as the Padel, and participate in the revitalization of this fashionable business district, in the city center of Marseille.
With many projects to install sites throughout the PACA region by the end of 2019, the bet seems on the way to succeed: this is why Work &Padel has just carried out a first fundraising campaign with a renowned club of entrepreneurs, in order to structure itself and continue to grow.
