It's not called Padel Tennis, it's called Padel, and it's the fastest growing sport in the world.
The fact that it's not on Fitbit is mind boggling.
I bought a fitbit for my wife, she plays tennis, so she's covered. I was about to buy one for the rest of our family (we all play padel), and then I found out you can't even choose the sport.

Just add Padel into the exercise app. Its the fast growing sport and its so much more fun than tennis or squash.
And its not called Padel Tennis its called Padel!
Thanks!
There is at least another chat where your users are asking for the same thing: Padel (and not "Padel tennis") is developping at a tremendous pace in Europe, after Spain, France, Belgium tennis clubs are replacing tennis courts by padel courts, some clubs like Forêt de Soignes replaced them all and offer only Padel courts nowadays. Garrincha Diegem just opened and offers 11 Padel courts (7 covered and 3 open). I am 66, never played a racket sport in my whole life and started Padel joyfully last year. My partner stopped tennis after some 50 years and is now an ardent player of Padel also. Like many many many others around us!
Soon it's been two years since this thread was started. No Padel as an exercise in sight. What gives?

Fitbit, your missing out. Surely it can't be that much work to add a new exercise?

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. By adding padel, clubs create new avenues for interaction, community engagement, and healthy competition among members. At Portico Sport, we understand the pivotal role padel plays in enhancing club dynamics and member engagement. That's why we offer premium padel courts and canopies designed to elevate your club's padel experience. Our courts boast durable materials, customizable designs, and advanced playing surfaces that ensure optimal performance and player satisfaction. Whether it's our innovative canopies providing shelter from the elements or our meticulously crafted courts enhancing gameplay, Portico Sport is dedicated to helping clubs expand their padel offerings and create vibrant community spaces. Transform Your Club with our padel courts! Interested in integrating padel into your club's offerings? Contact us today to discover how we can tailor a padel solution that meets your club's unique needs.

Is Padel set to be the next Golf? Padel is exploding in popularity and has all the makings to be the next go-to sport, just like golf did in the 90s. But why? ???? With so much time spent on social media, people are craving for experiences offline. Padel being a 2v2 game, gives players a chance to meet new people in real life, and break away from social media induced isolation. So, the glass enclosure serves a chance to play padel, network and socialize, and stay fit while having fun. Just ask the folks who met at our Bumble Inc. singles mixer. ???? ???? The new generation has a significantly shorter attention span. Padel being a fast paced sport gives players the opportunity to achieve more than fitness in a much quicker and more accessible window of time. ???? Unlike golf, the setup cost of padel is a fraction. For this reason, padel courts are also increasing in corporate setups, housing complexes, and schools. Just as golf captured hearts in the 90s, padel is set to do the same for today’s and future generations. So, what are you waiting for? Multiple brands and companies have already begun partnering with us. Join the padel movement and bring the ultimate networking, community, and adrenaline-filled experience to any space with our premium padel courts.
It is fantastic the game of padel is so accessible and with the current state of social media, marketing worldwide is also so accessible! When people start padel, they quickly become addicted (and feel they are a natural...it is the beauty of the sport!). It is also recognised early that the sport is in its infancy and there is HUGE potential, not only in the sport but also in terms of business. At this point it is hugely tempting to suddenly become a "padel expert" and start a niche business within the sport. I have met countless club owners that have been playing less than a month or 2...or travel training organisers without a coach...or new padel racket brands that haven't even tried different rackets. It is great that these entrepreneurial, business experienced people wish to help grow the game of padel and as a sport we will all be better for it. I just think it would be great to really immerse yourself in the sport before starting your padel business...or please at least alongside ???? Get lessons, play tournaments, train your game, watch Premier live, experience international padel events, visit different clubs... This was my first WPT Tournament, the Monte Carlo Masters - I had been playing for 3 years at that point and it would be another 2 years until I posted my first video!
What Are Your Padel Centre Non-Negotiable's ❓ As Padel continues to grow and more centres are emerging, the variation from centre to centre has started to become more apparent. Of course, there are always going to be differences between clubs depending on a number of factors (Location, Size and Objectives). But..what are the non-negotiable's a centre should always account for? ???? Regular Coaching (for me the most important) - By providing players with feedback, education and motivation, coaches will ensure player's constantly develop their game. This will help a centre to retain players, from beginners through to advanced athletes. ???? Events and Tournament's - We all know the social aspect of Padel is a huge catalyst for growth. By hosting tournament's/events a centre will form an engaging community, attract external players and maximise facility utilisation. At Golden Point Padel UK, I have been lucky to witness first-hand how important events are for the growth of Padel here in the UK and the excitement they bring to a community. This is something I believe is significant for the long-term future of Padel. ???? Social Space - Whether that is in the form of a bar/cafe or simply a seating area, the importance of giving players the chance to socialise pre/post match is significant. Not only will it bring a sense of belonging to players but it will help create a positive atmosphere within a centre and make people want to return for more. ???? Since creating The Padel Directory, it has been fascinating to see how different centres operate, what does work and what needs to be changed! It would be interesting to hear what are your Padel Centre non-negotiable's and why? ???? #padel #uksport #sport #ukpadel

Here's a question for you: what and where is the most ???????????????????????? #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. ???????? ???? ????
