A big part of Padel’s future is at Tennis clubs

Infinite Possibilities
"Padel is a highly social game that is gaining momentum on its way to becoming a significant global sport. As an integral part of the racket sports family, Padel courts at Tennis clubs simultaneously strengthen Tennis while growing the sport of Padel. It’s a true win-win.

We also see Padel-only clubs being built at an incredible rate globally, while other sports clubs are diversifying with Padel. We are happy to work with these clubs to finance 100% of their Padel court and foundation costs."

How much does it cost the club?

For the cost of the Padel courts, the answer is simple - there is NO cost to the club.
Not one penny.

Mindspring Padel will cover 100% of the costs related to the delivery, installation and structure of the Padel courts. In addition, we will cover additional costs for groundworks (i.e., foundation), if necessary (and subject to final cost).

Mindspring then recoups this investment via a revenue share linked specifically to the Padel court booking fees. So there are no hidden, late or back charges... the revenue share is only linked to booking and only starts once the courts are active.

How does it work?

Your land
The club provides an indoor or outdoor site, ideally an under-utilized Tennis, practice or sport court. The club will be responsible for securing all necessary approvals and building permits.
Our funds
We will pay 100% of the Padel court costs. We will also cover all or a portion of the groundwork costs if they are required.
Our Padel App
Our Padel App will help your club to manage the courts, as well as your player community. This is essential to ensure all booking and performance data is shared transparently with Mindspring Padel.
Shared Court Revenue
Mindspring Padel and the club share court usage fees or a percentage of membership fees during the term of the partnership. You only share revenue when the Padel courts generate revenue.
Revenue Share Approach
A tailored revenue share proposal is crafted for your club based on total investment, term, hourly booking rates and expected occupancy.
Throughout the Partnership
Your club will always retain 100% of ancillary revenue generated from increased food and beverage spending, group and private lessons, social events and shop sales.

What's the risk?

For Mindspring Padel, the risk is believing in your club community as the best home of Padel. And we also take on 100% of the financial investment risk.

For your club, the risk is limited only to your club’s desire and commitment to integrate and embrace the Padel community into your existing environment.
"Why is Mindspring Padel taking the risk? The answer is simple - because we’re both Padel and sport enthusiasts who believe in the potential of Padel at Tennis and sports clubs.

We’re confident that the investment will pay off for all of us. And we’re counting on the Tennis community to take advantage, as your success will define our success."
