7 Reasons to embrace Padel now!

Q: What do you get if you combine the skill and craft of tennis with the pace and energy of squash?

A: Padel – the UK’s fastest growing sport!

Invented in Mexico in the 1960s Padel was quick to gain traction in Europe with Spain and Scandinavia early adopters of the game.

But now the UK has discovered it and it’s been love at first sight with facilities and clubs popping up all over the country and booking out as quickly as they’re built. We know just how quickly it’s taking hold because we’re busy designing, manufacturing, and installing new padel court covers every single week.

Thinking of expanding your facilities? Why not explore this booming trend? There are plenty of reasons to get on board:

1. Padel is booming! It’s officially the world’s fastest growing sport with 25 million padel players in 110 countries.
2. It appeals to people of all ages and fitness levels so is a great way of attracting new clientele to your venue whether that’s a leisure centre, hotel, community sports facility or dedicated tennis centre.
3. Padel is a sociable sport. With the rise of working from home, more and more people and companies are looking for activities that provide communal, sociable experiences and as padel is played in pairs it delivers that in spades.
4. It’s space efficient. Padel courts are considerably smaller than tennis courts and unlike squash courts can be located indoors or outside, so they make a great addition to most sites.
5. Padel delivers benefits galore. The fast-paced nature of the game provides an ultra-effective cardio, agility, and mental workout all in one.
6. You’ll be in good company. Leading sports facilities providers across the country are getting on board. Within the last six months alone we’ve worked with Powerleague, the LTA at Nottingham Tennis Centre, Smash Padel, PadelStars, West Worthing Tennis Club, Bishops Stortford Lawn Tennis Club and Chappel Allerton Lawn Tennis, Squash & Gym Club to install padel court covers on their new facilities. Find out more about our padel court cover solutions here.
7. You’ll see an instant impact. All of the clubs and venues we have worked with have reported high demand for their new facilities. In fact, with many courts booked out for weeks at a time, we’ve already been back to some of our existing builds to retro-fit more canopies for more courts!
