Comment to "Impact of Public Courts to Private Clubs"
Jean Vacca (CEO, Padel Now France) says France’s FFT-backed non-profit base expands access but anchors low prices, pressuring private clubs. Upside: committed players seek premium indoor courts, advanced coaching, leagues and community. Playbook: sell the environment, own development, run must-show programs, price around public anchors, target the committed, and partner with municipalities. 2024–25: 814 new courts; 1,000+ forecast; 85k+ competitors; 100k+ licences; subsidies fuel public growth.
