Why is Padel the UK's fastest growing Sport and Tennis appears to be in decline? 🎾 Let's start with a little context👇 After 6 weeks of Padel, I played Tennis over the weekend... I've played tennis for 30 years with a decent technical and physical skill level. It's traditional that me and a few friends play on Wimbledon Men's Final day - we battled for 3 hours in drizzle which proved challenging conditions. I'm certainly no stranger to court size, service elements, and length of match, however... I found it hard to adjust and the points were often short and not as 'fun' as they were in the Padel matches I've played recently. As we sat watching the Wimbledon Final, our bodies and egos a little battered and bruised I started to reflect... What are the key differences between Padel and Tennis? 🎾 Padel is typically easier for beginners to pick up than tennis, as it requires less technical and physical prowess. 🎾 Padel offers a more social and doubles-centric experience. 🎾 Padel is often more inclusive and brings the local community together. 🎾 Padel can be played in 1 hour, is a quicker game-style and the ball is in play for longer.

The trend continues to show US Padel Tennis is going to be massive, so what brands should you trust and align with in this exciting growth market? In my world, I got hooked on padel many years ago, and in parallel a little under 10 years ago I started a sports brand called REBO Wall ™ - and we began its global journey, with today over 25+ countries, national governing body's (eg LTA, USTA, Tennis Canada, Swiss Tennis) alongside org’s like The AELTC/Wimbledon Club, The Roehampton Club, The Cumberland Club, The Granite Club (in Toronto, Canada) to name just a few, with local authorities like Rochdale Council, Trafford Council, Portsmouth Council, and installs in locations from China and Japan, to Spain, Greece and Norway plus many more. So a key consideration as padel enters the USA is what’s the track record, quality of product and provenance of the padel brand you're considering, i.e. that it should not only be trusted, with a clearly defined collaborative promotional relationship to help bring in new players on court, but more importantly to greatly enhance how your players and members actually 'feel' about the quality of their padel experiences while playing on court - and off court too in our REBO Wall ‘ALLEYS’ for padel practice and coaching. If you're planning for padel and you want to avoid disappointment, please note we are already taking reservation deposits to secure an allocation from our 2024/5 production run. And if you know anyone that is talking about padel's growth in the USA then please mention REBO Wall ™ - and no doubt you'll gain maximum padel kudos! 😎 👊 #AcceptOnlyTheBest #REBOWallPADEL #SportsInnovation #SportsManagement #FitnessTrends #RacquetSports #ActiveLifestyle #WorldClassPadelClubs #LuxuryCountryClubs #PremierCountryLiving #CountryClubLife #PrestigeCountryClubs #UltimatePadelExperience #CountryClubExclusives #PadelWorldLeaders #HighEndPadel #PadelCommunities #CountryClubChic #PadelLuxuryLiving #PremierPadelFacilities #ExclusivePadelEvents #WorldPadelForAll

Throughout my life, I’ve been dedicated to keeping the ball within the 78ft by 36ft boundaries of a tennis court. What started as a focus on competition turned into a focus of serving community through these lines. For the past three years, my focus remaining on serving, has been introduced to a smaller, more geometrically intriguing court: 66ft by 33ft with glass panels and a cage that surround it. Much like life, in padel, the ball can slip past you. You might think it’s gone but in padel, like life sometimes, there’s always a chance to get back in play. It can come from unexpected angles, just as life’s challenges can, yet with concentration, you can still recover and use the side glass walls to keep yourself in it, Padel like life is in not linear. Padel, which has captivated and has had my mind literally feel like it is bending, as my mind did in college studying the Buddhist concept of “emptiness,” offers profound life analogies and experiences, similar to tennis. While I’ll always cherish tennis and continue to promote, build, and grow tennis for all, often hailed as the King of Racquet Sports, it’s essential to remember that a Queen is just as crucial, for it is the Queens who bring vitality to the world. Padel, globally has emerged as the Queen and appears to be creating its own destiny. We have much more to bring to the Padel world. Keep an eye out for Taktika. We are here to bring Padel to All. We’re so fortunate to play, develop, and promote this game. Taktika Padel San Diego Stingrays Gabriel Perez Krieb The Padel State 🎥 Robbie Hill #padel #padeladdicts #usapadel #paquitonavarroacademy
