We usually receive the question about what are the aspects to review before buying a padel court or creating a Sports club. For this reason, at MejorSet we decided to summarize it in four elements that simplify the buying process:
The sales process will depend on each supplier, due to possible intermediaries, times, etc. At MejorSet, as installers and manufacturers, we work directly with the customer throughout the process, from design to installation. You will be able to decide the best way to transport and install the courts, either with our workers, but it is also possible only with supervision and installation equipment. All our logistics are managed from Alicante and sent to the desired destination.
Let's start this reading with a summary and then we'll have more detailed information about each item on our checklist.
A good location for a padel destination is an important factor when you want to get more than just a hobby from padel. It is interesting to find a well-known location with organic visibility, but above all, we must prioritize creating easy access for customers in private cars.
The waste of time to park or not find parking easily can be a source of frustration and of not arriving in time to play, so it will cause delays in reserved times.
What size should the parking area be?
Normally you can calculate the required parking capacity based on the maximum number of padel players multiplied by 0.8. This may vary depending on the market, but usually padel players prefer their private vehicles. The maximum number of padel players can be easily calculated by multiplying the number of courts by eight (8). Why multiplied by eight? Since padel is played in doubles, there are four people playing at the same time and when the reservation cycle changes you have twice as many people in your padel club.
This is one of the most important criteria for installing a successful padel court. You must build the base and pour the concrete floor horizontally and check the level with a bubble level tool. The thickness of the concrete must be at least 18-20 centimeters to meet the minimum measurements for the installation of the padel court firmly.
Building an outdoor padel court can be a real headache if you haven't been to professionals, since you have to work the terrain and in specific phases to avoid unnecessary risks of subsidence due to rain in winter or other ground movements.
How to create an attractive first impression for new customers and a smooth business journey in your padel club?
The goal is to create a fluid customer journey, combining it with attractive sales opportunities that can generate between 10 and 20% of additional revenue. If you design carefully, you can increase the average purchase per customer and improve profitability. You can create solid sources of income by selling equipment, such as balls and shovels, as well as other supplementation products and hydrating drinks during and after the game.
In our experience, the best entrance is always located in the center. This way, you create a powerful first impression when people enter your sports club. Customers can immediately feel the energy that surrounds them as they see people moving from 180 to 360 degrees.
The quality of steel profiles is something that new buyers very often underestimate. It is important to understand that substandard steel profiles cannot withstand high temperatures and possible changing humidity. In the long term, it doesn't make a big difference if we're talking about a padel court for €25,000 or €30,000, it's much more important to focus on building a growing and loyal clientele.
We have seen in multiple interior and exterior projects that the buyer chooses the cheapest option and later regrets his previous cost-oriented decision.
Even if you sometimes consider buying a court with a lower price initially, in a short time the materials if they are not of quality begin to show wear that is exponential over time. This can make you lose the clientele that starts going in the first moments precisely because of an image that the court is new and is in good condition.
Sports or artificial grass, whatever we want to call it, it is very important to select it well from the start.
A good quality lawn on a padel court, like the one we installed in Best Set in our projects - Mondo - helps its customers to suffer fewer injuries and avoid risks to the club's reputation, in addition to having high durability and lower maintenance costs.
Also, as an interesting fact, is that high-quality lawns do not need as much sand and therefore another cost is reduced.
How do I know if my sports grass is of good quality? The best performing sports lawns have 27 stitches per 10 cm. All other artificial grass options are ultimately a waste of money and time.
The official color of sports grass is blue, which is the most popular option seen on padel tennis courts around the world, although we At MejorSet we have the 4 official colors approved by the International Padel Federation.
Especially in covered areas it is crucial to have enough height and free space above the padel courts. This is one of the key points that new entrants to the market underestimate or market pioneers are clear about right from the start.
We have already seen that many padel clubs, especially in Sweden and Finland, have lost customers to other padel operators with higher free ceilings and some of them have been forced to close their businesses or have even gone bankrupt.
A free ceiling of at least 8-10 meters is absolutely the critical factor for a sustainable Padel Club business. Some investors don't even enter premises less than 10 meters high, as they understand the importance of free space for shooting by advanced players.
Last but not least, we have to think about the scalability of the padel club we want to build.
From MejorSet, analyzing the world of padel tennis for more than 20 years, we know that in mature markets it has been demonstrated that there is a limited possibility of doing business and of being truly profitable in the long term with less than 8 courts. Especially this should be taken into account when buying interior spaces that are going to be renovated as a private sports club.
Therefore, let's remember that you have to have eight meters of free space above the courts, and that you have to be able to grow to eight padel courts. What we mean by this is that you don't need to have eight courts from the start and not even in the same location, but in the long term, you need to be able to provide capacity to customers so that you can find cost scalability.

There are multiple common mistakes you can make when you found a padel club or buy a padel court for your existing sports club. The most common mistake is to think that a low price is a primary criterion for decision-making and not to take into account that saving on quality ultimately does not cause what is usually sought when creating a padel club: profitability.
From MejorSet we know, after having installed hundreds of padel tennis courts (replacing old ones in many cases), that the main risk in the cheapest padel courts is that when problems arrive, the suppliers are disregarded or properly maintained. The problem can be anything from lighting to corrosion on steel profiles. On the highest quality padel courts you have a long-term guarantee, and you can sleep peacefully at night.

If you’ve been playing padel for a while, or simply fell in love with the sport, it’s only natural to consider joining a padel club where you can play on a regular basis and meet others who love padel just as much as you do.
Joining a club is simple, just walk in and sign up. Choosing the right club? That’s a lot more complicated. There are 4,000 clubs across the world, with more opening every day as the sport grows in popularity.
Although we like to think that all clubs are great, we have no way to know for sure, which is why in this article we’ll take a look at certain features you should ask about before joining a club.
Depending on your reasons to join a club, some of these features may seem more useful than others. For those hoping to play competitively, good instructors and well-maintained courts will be a priority, while those hoping to just have some fun may be more interested in membership benefits and club amenities.
Even if the features don’t matter to you personally, they’ll most likely be included in your fee, so it pays to be informed about the following features before signing up.
What kind of system is in place when it comes to booking a court? Do you need to buy a book a spot ahead of time or can you simply walk up and see if there’s a spot available?
It is important for you to confirm this before opting for a club. The process of booking the courts can also differ from club to club. It could either be a completely online process, or the club might require you to call or visit in person.
Another important aspect of the reservation process is how long they allow you to book the court and whether or not that meets your requirements. If you are in it for the long run, it can be better to find a club where you can book multiple dates in advance.
Access to well-maintained changing rooms is a must for most people. Those who play before or after work will appreciate having a place to change into their sports gear, not to mention a nice hot shower once the match is over.
Before joining any club, we suggest you take a tour of their changing rooms, find out how many there are; if there are lockers to store your bags, if you need to bring your own towel, etc.
Becoming a member of a club can also give you access to several other facilities apart from the courts themselves. Of course, this can vary from club to club, and even what kind of membership plan you end up going for.
For instance, as a member of the club, you might be able to participate in or casually play other sports if you wish to do so. You might also be able to access swimming pools, lounge areas, food, sauna and spa services, gym, bar, and more.
This can be a great way for you to practice, exercise, rest, and hang out, all in the same place. Before you know it, you’ll be spending the whole day at the club!
There are bound to be multiple pricing plans in different clubs, depending on the services and amenities they offer. For instance, if you only wish to access the padel courts and their associated facilities, then you can opt for a more basic plan.
However, if you wish to access other benefits and features, then opting for a premium plan can work better for you.
You should also check the pricing levels of booking individual or multiple padel courts at a time or on a regular basis. There might be differences in the price during peak hours or seasons and off-peak ones.
If you have several clubs close to you, visit each one and try to find the plan that works best for you and your budget.
Understanding the kinds of features available on the court itself can help guide your decision. The court features could include the material and quality of the court itself, the net, the presence of proper markings, required height levels, and more.
You can also look at how close to each other the courts are placed, as well as the placement of lighting fixtures, since these may be restrictive for out-of-court play.
In some clubs, there might be an age limit when it comes to accessing the court or the club in general. For example, they might require you to be above 6 years old or above 13 to enter or join the club.
As an adult, you probably won’t have any issues with age restrictions, but if you’re trying to introduce your children to the sport, then it doesn’t hurt to ask.
Does the club provide you with the necessary equipment, a padel racket and ball, to play or do you need to bring your own each time?
In some clubs, a membership might give you access to free or discounted personal equipment or you might be able to hire it each time. If not, you might need to buy and bring your own equipment each time.
In many clubs, there might be designated instructors or coaches that you can train with. However, it is likely that you will need to pay more for this or buy a premium membership.
Either way, having an instructor to help you improve in the sport is a must if you are hoping to play professionally.
The club that you opt for should ideally have enough seating arrangements in place so that you can rest while or after playing. This is crucial if you plan on bringing friends or family to watch or play with you (make sure you check the regulations regarding this as well).
Finally, you should check the reviews of the padel club that you are considering. You can either look at reliable online forums or speak to people who are or have been a part of the club.
This way, you can get a more realistic idea of what to expect about that specific club.
Joining a club is an amazing way to take your love for padel to the next level, not only because you’ll play more often and get better at it, but because you’ll start sharing experiences and building friendships with people who love the sport just as much as you do.
