What are the specifications in dimensions of a padel court vs. a tennis court?

 The standard measurements for a double padel court are 10 metres wide by 20 metres long. 

The size of a single court for playing one on one is 6 metres wide by 20 metres long. 

And the measurements for padel courts for children are 5 metres wide by 10 metres long, these courts are recommended for children up to the age of 6 years old. 

 

In comparison, the tennis court is bigger than a padel court, the measurements in tennis are 23.77m x 10.97m wide. This means that you can fit more padel courts than tennis courts in a small space and therefore increase the profitability of your club.

What are the advantages of having a padel court instead of any other sports facility?

 

  • Padel is a very social game, suitable for people of all ages, gender and physical conditions. It’s easier to learn than tennis and other racquet sports.
  • Padel courts take up less space than tennis ones and much less than football pitches or basketball halls.
  • It only takes 4 people (or 2 if they are single courts) to rent a court and play.
  • Padel is the fastest growing sport in the world, IIn Europe alone, in the last two years, more than 10,000 padel courts have been built and more than 2,990 clubs have been created. There are currently more than 18 million active padel players in the world. 

How do you know if it is more profitable to have a padel court than a tennis court or any other facility?

 

The average duration of a padel match is 90 minutes, although the players who are going to enjoy themselves can rent the court perfectly well for 2 hours. 

Prices to rent  a court in Europe for 1,5h can vary from 8 to 20€ per person, depending on the location. If it’s  occupied 4,5h per day ( just 3 sessions) this mean that each court can make at least from 2.880€ to 7.800€ per month.

As a curious fact, in consolidated padel centres with a large number of players, this occupancy can reach 80%.   

Can tennis courts be converted into padel courts?

Yes! At MejorSet we work especially with a type of padel court which is the Full Panoramic Portable, which can be installed quickly as it integrates a portability ring, and does not require screws to anchor it to the ground.

A padel court could therefore be installed on top of a tennis court for a short time or definitely. 

The Full Panoramic Court by MejorSet is a real jewel in the world of padel. This court offers a unique and exciting experience thanks to its glass structure that surrounds the entire perimeter of the court, providing a 360-degree panoramic view. The complete view of the game and the high quality of its materials are the main features that make it unique and popular among players.

Although in appearance it does not have metal corners and reinforcements - which may initially generate doubts - its resistance and visual effect are the most applauded, being the reason why it is chosen for the best world tournaments organized by the International Padel Federation.‍
