AboutAbout

Originally, padel was local to South America and Spain, but over the last 10 years padel began expanding quickly to the rest of Europe. In recent years, padel has expanded to the United States

and has become popular in states such as Texas, Florida, and California.

With over 9 million players around the world, padel has become the fastest growing sport in the world. e Tennis Federations of many countries have begun overseeing the development of Padel.

ese Federations are promoting padel and tennis together so that players can participate and enjoy both sports.

Following this trend, Padel Connection was created to promote Padel around the world through the tennis universe. We believe that while padel is similar to tennis, the sport oers opportunities and unique experiences,

and that there are many benets and synergies for structures proposing both tennis and padel.

To serve this idea, Padel Connection has become specialized in two activities: First, we create padel events at renowned and prestigious tennis tournaments oering a great visibility.

Second, we help tennis clubs and country clubs integrating padel to their structures by ensuring the optimization of the revenue generated from the padel activity.

is idea was originated by Michael Kuzaj, who began playing padel in France after playing college tennis in the United States where he studied an MBA.

After one year as a padel coach he decided to create Padel Connection, an idea which combines both of his passions, tennis and padel.

INCREASE YOUR TOTAL REVENUE PER HOUR

You can build 2 or 3 padel courts on 1 tennis court (depending on the size of the tennis court). A padel court is cheaper than a tennis court, especially through Padel Connection ! Padel games are usually longer than tennis games: in average people play between 1h30 and 2h, versus 1h to 1h30 in tennis. Padel is played only in doubles, so 4 players on the court at the same time, so more revenue per hour ($10 x 4 players).

WHY TO ENTRUST YOUR FACILITIES ON US

EXTRA REVENUES

BAR / SNACK

Padel is a very social game. Playing a fun game with 3 other players on a small court creates proximity and relationships between players that is unique to padel.

When the game is over, people like to stay and have a drink, eat something, or just stay to watch their friends playing.

In other words, padel will give dynamism to your structure by creating social activity. This will help you boost your revenues generated by food and beverages.

INCREASE YOUR TOTAL REVENUE PER HOUR

EQUIPMENT

As padel is still unknown to the public, players will trust you and place you as a specialist to buy equipment. There is only little competition from internet retailers as they exclusively focus on the Spanish market.

That is why you can benefit from very good sales of racquets, balls (specific padel balls), clothes, shoes, accessories The practice of padel implies very specific equipment with interesting margins.
