Did you know that? 👇 A Mexican by name of Enrique Corcuera is believed to be the founder of padel - by accident 😁 How did he came up with the idea? Well, Corcuera built a court to play tennis at his home in Acapulco in the late 1960s. Not long after, he found that if tennis balls were overhit, which was the case most of the time, they would go all over the place and into neighbouring houses. To prevent this from happening, Corcuera figured, why not surround the court with fences on all sides 💡 However, with these adjustments in place, he still faced some problems as normal tennis rackets generated too much power for the small court 💥 Corcuera and his friends eventually exchanged their tennis rackets for a wooden beach paddle bat. Later, a rulebook evolved, which allowed the players to play off walls, and the rest is history! Fast forward to 2024 where padel has become one of the fastest-growing sports worldwide. More and more people are finding their way to padel courts because of the intrinsic dynamic and social nature of the sport. The sport is also growing steadily at the professional level where competing tours Premier Padel and World Padel Tour agreed to merge to unify under one professional circuit, called Premier Padel🤝 In addition to both professional and grassroots padel, businesses have also tapped into the thrill of the sport for team-building outings and networking events. At Air Cargo Padel, we have carved out a niche for air cargo professionals with our exclusive air cargo networking tournament. With a significant number of participating teams, it stands as one of the largest—if not the largest— padel networking event in the Netherlands! 🚀 Want to be part of our event?

It provides a transition from the intensity of the game to a more relaxed state. 4. Feedback and Improvement: Discussing the match with fellow players and coaches can offer valuable feedback. This informal setting is an opportunity to reflect on performance, share tips, and discuss strategies for improvement. 5. Networking: For many, Padel is also a social and professional networking opportunity.
