Beginning in March, numerous "all-racket-sports" expos are going to start kicking off everywhere from Milan (with Racquet Trend) to #Miami (with RacquetX)... But, as guest columnist Mike Dale of The Padel Paper in the U.K. discusses in our just-published update, it's looking increasingly like #padel is set to steal the show from its racket sports cousins like #tennis, #pickleball, and #squash.

Let's face it... so much big, important U.S. #padel news is now breaking so often that it's probably incredibly hard for you to keep up with it all (not to mention, for me to try to write about it all!). So, starting today we're going to try out a new feature I'm tentatively calling "ICYMI Monday" that breaks down the big -- and widely reported -- U.S. #padelnews stories you've might have missed from the previous week into bite-sized portions along with links to from other reputable sources if you'd like to learn more. That way I can focus on somewhat lesser-known -- but equally interesting and important -- stories and updates most others aren't covering. In this week's inaugural installment: 🎾 Details on the enormous Wilson Sporting Goods Co.-sponsored Swing Racquet + Paddle club (Play at Swing) that just broke ground in #Raleigh, NC -- and will include an incredible 15 padel courts along with 28 #tennis courts and 25 #pickleball courts... 🎾 A full schedule for this week's Pro Padel League Event 3 -- which is currently underway in #SanDiego at Taktika Padel (and is actually airing live on Tennis Channel's T2 network in the U.S.)... 🎾 Rosters from the United States Padel Association (USPA) for both the Men's and Women's US National Teams that will be competing in the International Padel Federation World Padel Championship North American Qualifiers in Mexico next month... So, please be sure to check it out👇, let us know what you think of the new concept, and ♻ to help spread the word. 🇺🇸 🎾 🚀 (P.S. -- Want to get U.S. padel news and commentary like this delivered directly to your inbox?

While #padel is no doubt a sport very rooted in tradition, it's also one that has seen a lot of innovation over the years -- and will inevitably see exponentially more going forward. In fact, in just over a half-century the game has evolved from a rather obscure one played on dense, concrete walls with small wooden "palas" to a global phenomenon played on seamless, glass walls with space-age carbon fiber rackets. Which got me wondering... what will the padel of 𝘰𝘶𝘳 future look like? To (start) to get the answer, I recently spoke with Chen M. Shachar, Matt Gibson, Scott Schmelzer, Gaston Muszkat and the team at PlaySight. Why? Well, among other things, PlaySight's industry-leading video technologies and #AI offerings are now used across more than 30 different #sports (including #tennis, #squash, and #pickleball)... Not to mention by 20 different National Basketball Association (NBA) teams -- including the 2024 NBA champion Boston Celtics (and the 2024 WNBA (Women's National Basketball Association) champion New York Liberty)... Legendary #prosports franchises like the St. Louis Cardinals and New York Rangers and countless NCAA programs -- including numerous D1 national champions... And leading padel clubs around the U.S. and world, including the likes of Padel Haus and Reserve. Point being, PlaySight is not just the kind of company that can help predict what the future of #padel will look like, but one that's 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘨 it. So, if you're a padel club owner, operator, tournament director, or just rabid player, I do hope you'll take a moment to read through our upcoming, multi-part series of articles with PlaySight about the future of padel. We published part one just a few minutes ago, which you can check out below ⬇️ -- and we'll be back very soon with future installments. In the meantime, please let us know what you envision the future of padel looking like in the comments below!
