What is a padel court and why has it become a profitable venture?

Padel is a modern sport that has spread widely in recent years, especially in Arab and Gulf countries. Combining elements of tennis and squash, padel is played with smaller rackets and a tennis-like ball on a court surrounded by glass or mesh walls that allow play to continue after the ball bounces.

1️⃣ What is a padel court?

A padel court is a space dedicated to the practice of this sport, and is characterized by special specifications, the most important of which are:

• Dimensions: The court is usually 10 meters long and 20 meters wide for doubles, surrounded by glass walls and metal netting.

• The floor: Covered with the exchanger’s own artificial turf with a layer of silica sand for added stability.

• Chassis: Made of galvanized stainless steel with impact-resistant tempered glass.

• Lighting: A powerful lighting system that allows the game to be played day and night.

2️⃣ Why did the padel court project become profitable?

Padel has seen rapid growth, making investing in the sport a golden opportunity for a number of reasons:

🔹 Growing demand

The number of players and clubs offering padel has increased as the game’s popularity has risen globally and in the Arab world, which means a strong demand for padel courts.

🔹 High financial returns

Daily profits can be made by:

• Hourly stadium rentals for individuals and teams.

• Organize local or friendly tournaments.

• Offer paid training classes for beginners.

🔹 Lower operating costs

After the stadium is built, the project does not require significant operating expenses, as maintenance is limited and the artificial turf and glass have a long lifespan.

🔹 Diversity of investment opportunities

The project can be expanded by creating multiple courts, or adding support services such as a cafeteria, a store for game supplies, or a training academy.

Optimal lighting when outfitting a padel court to ensure an excellent gaming experience

Lighting plays an essential role in padel court setups, directly affecting visibility, player safety, and the overall quality of the experience. Most padel matches are played during the evening or indoors, making a professional lighting system essential for optimal performance on the court.

Here are the ideal lighting standards for padel courts:

1️⃣ LUX Level

• The lighting intensity of padel courts should range from 300 lux to 500 lux for recreational courts, and up to 750 lux for professional tournament courts.

• Proper lighting power ensures that the ball is clearly visible all over the field without any annoying shadows.

2️⃣ Type of lighting used

• High-quality LED lighting:

  • Provides strong and uniform illumination.

  • Energy efficient compared to traditional bulbs.

  • Long lifespan with low maintenance.

• Color Temperature: A cool white light of 6000 – 5000 (between Kelvin) is preferred to increase visibility during gameplay.

3️⃣ lighting distribution
 

• The lights should be distributed evenly around the pitch to avoid the formation of shadows or dark spots.

• Often 8 to 4 light poles with a height of 8 to 6 meters are used.

• The lighting should be directed diagonally to cover the entire pitch without dazzling the players or spectators.

4️⃣ Reduce glare and dazzle

• The use of Anti-Glare flashlights minimizes the players’ fascination with light.

• Thoughtfully direct the lights so that they illuminate the stadium without directly hitting the eyes of the players or the audience.
