Padel is undergoing rapid growth, emerging as one of the fastest expanding sports in the UK. The rising demand from players has resulted in the development of a huge number of courts.

Operating models vary from indoor to outdoor and outdoor canopied, and from low touch automation to highly staffed centres. The dynamics of the current boom means that most of these models are working if the location is right, but will this continue as the sector matures and players become more discerning?

The hurdles to entry for operators are:
Lack of quality and experienced consultancy advice.
Poor understanding of the planning process
Identifying contractors with the correct experience in the specialist sector of building padel courts. Many claim to have it but few do.
Cost of procuring best quality courts and canopies
