Padel, a popular racquet sport that combines elements of tennis and squash, has been gaining momentum in the United States. With its growing popularity, new padel clubs are popping up across the country, providing enthusiasts with more opportunities to play and compete. Let's take a look at some of the recent U.S. padel club openings that are making waves in the sport.
Among those that have recently opened, or soon will, include:
🎾 B'More Padel (an elevated four court outdoor facility from CourtPro+ founded by racquet-sports savant/legend Christopher Haley slated to open later this month that will be the first padel club in the greater 𝐁𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 area).
🎾 PADELHUB (a six court indoor facility -- with 35+ ft. high ceilings -- that I had the privilege of touring a few months back with founder Matías Leighton Mouchabek and is now officially open in the Seaport–Southie area of 𝐁𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐧).
🎾 Ballers 𝐁𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐧 (a soon-to-open seasonal, multi-use athletic facility -- backed by celebrity sports stars like Andre Agassi and Sloane Stephens -- that features three outdoor padel courts in the Southport area of 𝐁𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐧).
🎾 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞 & 𝐒𝐦𝐚𝐬𝐡 𝐏𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐥 & 𝐏𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐥𝐞𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐂𝐥𝐮𝐛 (a recently opened multi-racquet-sport facility that features two indoor and two outdoor padel courts from Sportsfield Specialties and is only the second dedicated padel club in 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐮𝐭).
