Riding the Padel Boom
Padel, a hybrid of tennis and squash, has surged in popularity across the UK, with participation rates doubling since 2020, according to Sport England. The North West has emerged as a hotspot, driven by demand for urban sports facilities and community-driven leisure options.
Pure Padelโs expansion aligns with broader trends, as investors and local councils increasingly back the sport. Manchester City Council recently earmarked funds for padel infrastructure, citing its potential to boost physical activity and local economies.
Stakeholders Weigh In
Sports analysts attribute Pure Padelโs success to its focus on inclusivity and premium amenities. โTheyโve tapped into a niche but fast-growing market,โ said Laura Simmons, a sports business consultant. โTheir multi-club strategy positions them as a key player in regional development.โ
Members of existing Pure Padel clubs praised the operatorโs community-focused approach. โItโs more than just a sportโitโs a social hub,โ said Mark Reynolds, a regular player at the Liverpool location.
Whatโs Next?
With padelโs inclusion in the 2032 Olympics under discussion, Pure Padelโs expansion could benefit from heightened visibility. The company is also exploring partnerships with schools and corporate wellness programs to broaden its reach.
As construction begins on the new site, industry watchers expect further announcements on locations and partnerships in the coming months.
