The Growth of Padel in Europe: what clubs need to know
Padel is one of the fastest-growing sports in Europe. New clubs open every year, and existing tennis clubs increasingly add padel courts to meet demand. This rapid growth creates opportunities, but also new challenges.
As participation rises, so does the number of amateur tournaments. Players expect frequent competitions, better organisation, and clearer communication than in the past. Informal systems that once worked are now under pressure.
Clubs that adapt quickly benefit the most. Those that invest in better processes can host more events, attract new players, and strengthen their community.
Understanding this growth is essential for clubs that want to stay relevant in an increasingly competitive landscape.
