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
