Create a club.

Get involved.

Be a part of the fastest growing sport in the world, invest in padel - whether it is time or money. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn your love for padel into something more.

Whatever it is, the future padel players of New Zealand need people to invest in padel, start padel clubs and get involved.

Build it.

Once you’ve decided to establish a padel club, the next step is to engage with experienced padel court developers or a local engineer, builders and your local council. These parties can advise on site suitability, design and layout, consenting requirements, provide cost estimates, and manage or support the installation process.

Speaking with other clubs about their experiences is also strongly recommended. Learning from those who have already gone through the process can help you avoid common pitfalls and pick up practical tips specific to New Zealand conditions.

Below are some practical pointers to help guide you through the process in a New Zealand context.
