The Padel State’s Post

Thanks to Austin Edwards and the The Padel State for writing a story about the promising future of padel in the Greater Boston Area! Check it out below

Even some of my friends who are starting to play #padel regularly are still skeptical that it's nothing more than a passing fad (and they can't remotely understand why I dedicate so much time and effort to writing about it). The other day one of them said to me, "Yeah, I know padel might be getting big in places like #Florida and #Texas, but how many other states even have more than one padel club... one or two?" Obviously, #NewYork and #California immediately sprung to mind (thanks in large part to the efforts of multi-club operators like Padel Haus and Taktika Padel) -- but then I really started to think about it and go through my notes... And what I discovered is that thanks to the efforts of people and clubs like Andres (Tito) Moreno and AMET International... Patricio Misitrano and The Sports Haus... Sam Markle and Smash Padel and Pickleball Club... Padel Plant... Tim Bainton and Epic Padel Inc... Aditya Khilnani and Sensa Padel... Benji Markoff and Padel United Sports Club... Centercourt Club & Sports... Ballers... Chase Woodsum and Padel Boston... Parker Racquet Club... RCW Athletic Club, and so many others, there are actually 15 states that now have more than one padel club (or will very soon). Check out our just-released article below to discover where they are and many of the places you can play the world's fastest growing sport in each. And please ♻ re-post ♻ to help spread the word. 🇺🇸 🎾 🚀

The Power of Overcoming Fears through Padel - Part 4.

The explosive growth of padel in the U.S. has sparked a new wave of sports enthusiasm across the nation! 🎾 From entrepreneurs investing in courts to athletes discovering a new passion, padel is transforming the U.S. sports landscape. 💥 Whether you're a seasoned player or hearing about it for the first time, this blog highlights why padel is the next big thing to watch. Read on to learn more about this exciting trend! #Padel #PadelGrowth #SportsIndustry #SportTrends #PadelCommunity #USSports #EmergingSports #PadelInUSA #RacketSports #GrowthStrategy https://loom.ly/Xp1gk6I

Here's a question for you: what and where is the most 𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘲𝘶𝘦 #padel club in the U.S.? Is it one of the several Padel Haus locations in Brooklyn? Or maybe Sensa Padel's sleek new home in Nashville? Or the soon-to-open Ballers club -- which is located in a former power plant just outside Philly? Or perhaps it's one of the ultra-lux offerings from Reserve or Brisas.us in New York or Florida? Or Whitney Kraft's one-court club at the Brook Bound Inn in Vermont? Or even a club with a stunning views in the SF area like Park Padel or Bay Padel? For my money it might just be the The Heights Racquet & Social Club in Minnesota (which earlier this year was actually featured on an episode of Good Morning America that explored the exploding popularity of padel here in the U.S.). For one thing, as I discussed with their GM and fellow #squash player and enthusiast, Sheldon Vaz, to my knowledge, The Heights is currently the only publicly accessible #racketclub in the entire world that features padel, #pickleball, and BOTH singles and doubles squash courts. But to get a real sense of everything that makes The Heights so unique -- and the epitome of what I believe padel communities and clubs in the U.S. should look like -- I'd urge you to read through our just-released feature article below👇 If you find it enjoyable, I'd further ask that you please ♻ to help spread the word. 🇺🇸 🎾 🚀 (And if you'd like to get U.S. padel news and commentary like this delivered directly to your inbox, you can sign up for our free "State of the Game" newsletter here: https://lnkd.in/em9GE9KU) Alina Boyce Twin Cities Business Allison Kaplan Adam Bews Joe Gross PADEL-LUX United States Padel Association (USPA) US Squash Commodore Squash Club Bill Ullman Galen Le Cheminant Porter Drake Oliver Morgan Mike Dale

I was both honored and excited to recently be asked to help edit the Global Padel Report 2024 from PLAYTOMIC and Strategy& -- an in-depth, 48-page research #report that was released just this morning and is widely considered to be among the most important and informative publications about the global #padel landscape. There are some really interesting and impressive stats in it about the growth of the #sport around the world, like the fact that, on average, 𝟓𝟏 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐩𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐥 𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐛𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝟏𝟏𝟏 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐩𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤 𝐢𝐧 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟑. There are also some pretty eye-opening insights about the global #racket market, which I'm sure will be of interest to people I've recently talked to from Blanca Padel (Andrew Won), Wilson Sporting Goods Co., Babolat, Short Court, and Fromuth Racquet Sports among others. But, as always, our focus here at The Padel State is on the U.S. market, so I probably had some slightly different takeaways than many others around the world, which I discuss in the just-released article below... (And I think will be of interest to people and clubs like Julian Wortelboer and Ultra Padel Club Miami... Santiago Gomez and Padel Haus... Ryan Redondo, Gabriel Perez Krieb and Taktika Padel... Padel X and Rally Club... among many others, as they are all key to my conclusion.)

Improve your club's profitability With summer's arrival, padel emerges as the perfect sport, offering not just physical activity but also social and community-building benefits. More clubs, including golf courses and tennis clubs, are recognizing the value of integrating padel into their offerings, enriching their memberships' experiences with a sport that promotes camaraderie and inclusivity. Why Padel Stands Out? ·        Social Engagement: Padel's doubles format fosters teamwork and communication, creating a friendly atmosphere where players bond on and off the court. ·        Inclusive Sport: Suitable for all ages and skill levels, padel encourages participation from diverse groups within the club community. ·        Enriching Experiences: Beyond competition, padel clubs host social events like barbecues and themed nights, enhancing club camaraderie and member connections.   Clubs are discovering that padel not only diversifies their sporting activities but also strengthens their social fabric.
