Club Coordinator David Lloyd Chigwell (London), and director of the Hello Padel project, Mauri Andrini is one of the best connoisseurs of the situation that this wonderful sport is currently experiencing in the United Kingdom.
Padel World Press .- The Argentine is a clear example that things do not happen just because. Nothing is accidental and, in his case, it is very likely that he himself did not dream of everything that he is experiencing at this moment.
Habitual in the Challenger of the World Padel Tour Circuit, it is one of the great references of padel in the British Isles and, therefore, we wanted to know your opinion about the present and future of this sport in the United Kingdom.
"Hello everyone:
The padel in the United Kingdom does not lower its guard at any time. England is the 'Realm of the Racket' and, whatever the time it takes, the paddle will become a racquet sport with thousands of fans, like so many others. Many English are already showing their love for this discipline. Some try it in Spain during their holiday period and then want to continue with their practice 'at home'. Of course, the Spaniards who leave their land and come to 'the Islands' give a lot of support and push to the paddle.
As it is logical, in these countries the Outdoor Tracks are an inconvenience for the long period of winter. The rain in England is very common, which does not allow time for the court to dry when it is already wetting once more. With this, what I want to say is that to build a track in the United Kingdom, it is better to roof it and that generates an extra expense for investors. During the sunny and warm months, it is great to play on the outdoor courts and enjoy the atmosphere of the clubs.
In London, most clubs are Indoor. The largest chain of sports complexes in the United Kingdom, called David Lloyd, already has three of its complexes with roofed tracks. These clubs are private and only members can enjoy the paddle tennis courts, which can be found in Bushey, Chigwell and Harbor Club (Chelsea).
London has the 'King of Padel Clubs' ... That is the Padel Club London, which is run by Pedro Garcia, an excellent person who only with his character invites you to go to the club even if you do not go to play. Padel Club London was born in Canary Wharf about 2 for a year and a half and, recently, has moved to White Chapel, a much more central location, two steps from the subway and very accessible to all.
It should be noted that another Outdoor Track has been opened in London at the Padel Tennis London (Hazelwood Padel Club), so that any fan can enjoy Padel. In turn, other 3 outdoor courts are located in Bushey, in the North London Padel Club.
Outside of London you can find clubs like the Padel Nation in Birmingham or the Ellesse Padel-Academy in Huddersfield. Both participate in the British Paddle Circuit and their owners are nice people who can facilitate the initiation of anyone in the world of paddle tennis ... Liverpool will host the next opening and we hope to be there soon, to tell you how the paddle is going through the Northern England.
For those who ask, in the UK we do have our own Circuit ... And what a Circuit! It is called the British Padel Tour and has championships distributed throughout England, from London or Birmingham to Huddersfield (near Manchester). It is played in different Categories, either Masculine or Feminine, and its level starts to be very high.
So I could say that the paddle is growing steadily in the UK and that is due to all the sufferers and lovers of this sport, which help to keep growing ... Without forgetting the commendable effort of all those who work in the British Federation .
Undoubtedly, we can ensure that the paddle in the UK is already installed and, from now on, will not stop growing.
Those who dare to come to the United Kingdom, either for a walk or to stay, know that they are more than welcome to play paddle tennis ... They can contact HELLO PADEL through social networks (in English or Spanish) and, in that way , they will access the information of the Local Championships as well as ask any questions ... We will help them in everything they need.
Greetings and ... Hello Padel to everyone !!
Mauri Andrini. "
