What it takes to launch a padel club

Launching a padel club is a capital project. It involves site selection, planning, construction, supplier coordination, and building a viable operating model. This guide breaks the process into the decisions that matter most.

The 6 steps to launching a padel club

1. Feasibility

Define your concept, target market, and budget. Assess demand and decide whether indoor, covered, or outdoor courts are viable.

2. Site & planning

Secure land or repurpose an existing facility. Understand zoning, planning approvals, access, and utilities.

3. Design & layout

Decide on court count, circulation, clubhouse, viewing, and the wider customer experience.

4. Suppliers & construction

Select court manufacturers, installers, and delivery partners. Coordinate groundworks, procurement, and build sequencing.

5. Financial model

Model utilisation, pricing, programming, staffing, and operating margins before you commit capital.

6. Launch & operations

Set up systems, staffing, programming, leagues, coaching, and your go-to-market plan.
