Écrit par Communications Department Portico Sport 5 mars 2025

Adding padel courts to existing sports facilities is a game-changer, and there’s a growing interest in the sport worldwide. Here’s our top 5 reasons why integrating padel into your club could be the best decision for facility owners:

1. Explosive Growth of Padel

Padel is one of the fastest-growing sports globally, with over 40,000 courts worldwide, and projections indicate that this number will more than double by 2026. Regions like Spain, Italy, and Sweden have seen tremendous success, and Oceania is set to follow this trend. Australia and New Zealand are ripe for expansion, providing sports clubs an opportunity to get in early as the market takes off.

2. Broad Appeal Across All Ages

Unlike some niche sports, padel has universal appeal. It’s easy to learn and fun for all ages, which helps bring in a diverse group of members. Whether targeting families, teens, or older adults, padel encourages social interaction and promotes a community spirit that attracts loyal players.

3. High ROI for Club Owners

With the padel market expected to reach €6 billion by 2026, it’s clear the sport has solid revenue potential. Installing a padel court requires less space than traditional tennis courts, meaning clubs can optimize their existing real estate. Plus, it’s a fantastic revenue stream through lessons, court rentals, and tournaments.

4. Easy Conversion of Existing Tennis Courts

If your facility already has tennis courts, the transition to padel can be relatively simple. Many tennis clubs in Europe have converted courts to cater to the increasing demand for padel, making it a versatile addition. We provide expert solutions, guiding you through the conversion process while ensuring high-quality installations.

5. Enhancing Member Engagement

Padel offers a unique opportunity to host social and competitive events. Members will appreciate the exciting mix of sport and community involvement. Tournaments, leagues, and events centered around padel are easy to organize and provide ongoing engagement, ensuring that members return regularly.

By choosing us, you are partnering with a provider experienced in bringing European-level padel expertise to Oceania, ensuring your facility stands out from the competition.
