One of the biggest issues facing those interested in playing Padel in the United States is the need for more courts and access to facilities. Unlike countries such as Spain which have over 15,000 courts across the country, the US boasts just 180 courts across 56 different venues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unlike a sport like Pickleball, which can largely be played on any hard court surface as long as you have a net, Padel requires significantly more space and resources to build a court. With that being said, there are some padel facilities across the United States that currently are a great place to start your padel journey. Here are some of the best padel facilities across the United States:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just outside Philadelphia in Bala Cynwyd, you can find one of the best padel facilities in the United States at PADELphia. With a combination of indoor and outdoor courts, the Pennsylvania club has become one of the most popular clubs for padel in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
PADELphia opened its doors in 2019 and has since hosted several tournaments incorporating clubs from all over the country. Further, the club has a wide variety of lessons on offer for all skill levels. PADELphia\u2019s coaches are also all certified with the USPTA, making them a strong starting point for new players trying to learn the game properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
PADELphia has also found success in its clinics that have introduced padel to over 500 new players, many of whom are younger kids. The importance of growing the game with the youth can\u2019t be understated, as the long-term potential of the sport could hugely benefit from an influx of younger players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of America\u2019s biggest padel hubs can be found in the bustling metropolis of New York City where Santiago Gomez\u2019s Padel Haus can be found. Opened in June of 2022, Gomez\u2019s club is the shining representation of his passion for padel. Gomez has an entrepreneurial background, and with the help of outside investors, he made his dream of bringing padel to the Big Apple a reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first Padel Haus location was built in Williamsburg, just outside the city center, but after a booming start and increased interest, two more facilities have been opened. One can be found in Domino Park and another in Dumbo Brooklyn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Padel Haus Williamsburg boasts 8 high-end padel courts as well as other amenities. A juice bar and various recovery rooms make up a luxurious facility that has not only drawn interest from local Spaniards and Argentines but also local New Yorkers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Padel Haus has also garnered national attention by hosting a USPA Tournament in May of last year. It\u2019s important to note that the long-term success of padel in the United States must be rooted in proper coaching. By hosting tournaments in association with the national governing body, access to proper coaching will come with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After its success in New York, Gomez will also be expanding Padel Haus to other locations around the country, with venues set to be created in both Nashville and Greenpoint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Due to the Spanish-speaking population in Florida, and specifically Miami, it\u2019s no wonder why the city has become an early cradle for padel in the United States. Clubs such as Wynwood, which hosts 8 outdoor courts, are among the most popular in the country. Further, the climate in Miami is extremely suited to those looking to play padel often, whereas other regions of the country may require indoor courts due to variable weather conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the reasons why Wynwood is one of the best options for padel in the United States is their access to professional coaching. Wynwood makes it very easy to book a clinic or lesson with one of their pros online, a feature that not all clubs in the US provide. Wynwood also offers a variety of clinics based on skill level, starting with beginners and also offering lessons for more experienced players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
