Why to Bring Padel Courts to Schools?
Even in schools and university campuses, padel is becoming an increasingly established reality. Although until a few years ago the phenomenon only and exclusively concerned Spain, now it is not strange to see padel courts dedicated also to students from the rest of Europe or even overseas.
But what are the reasons that are making the combination of padel and school successful and what factors should be paid the most attention to in order to best implement such projects? Let's find out in this article!
What are the Reansons behind the Success of Padel in Schools? Index
The combination of padel and schools is proving successful for both a social factor but also a logistical one due to the installation of the padel court itself.
High social interaction: padel is fun, is played in teams, and is particularly suitable for organizing tournaments among students. All this promotes social interactions, and teamwork and strengthens interpersonal relationships.
Ease of learning: padel is certainly easy to learn at all ages and gives great satisfaction in a very short time without requiring any special physical aptitude or technical training.
Low space occupation: a padel court occupies only 20x10m and is easily suited for installation in the garden of a school or university campus.
Low maintenance: a padel court is generally a type of sports facility that does not require much maintenance.

The most important consideration for this type of project is the safety of the students. Padel, by no means, is considered a dangerous sport, but one cannot underestimate the fact that a padel court is composed of an iron and glass cage on which players can impact during game actions.At NXPadel, we have always made the safety of our padel courts, one of the cornerstones on which we base our mission in wanting to innovate this industry. Thanks to the Fiberglass structure, a much more resilient and elastic material than iron, we can guarantee cushioned and perfectly absorbed impacts on the padel court fences. Moreover, being chemically rustproof and featuring an anti-abrasive profile, no one will run the risk of injury or excoriation during impacts with the structure.
However, the most outstanding aspect undoubtedly lies in ComfortGlass, the first safe and indestructible padel glass. Thanks to its acrylic composition, in fact, it ensures soft and safe body impacts and, unlike classic tempered glass, it will never run the risk of breaking.
All this, of course, without sacrificing compliance with the playing parameters dictated by the IPF.
It is thanks to the combination of all these aspects that just a year ago we were able to realize one of the projects of which we are most proud and which crowns our desire to make this sport even more accessible, practical and safe for everyone. Padel made its absolute debut in an American school in a private high school in Austin, Texas, which, for the occasion chose our Fiberglass and ComfortGlass padel courts to complete their already very wide range of sports.
