HOW TO BUILD A PADELBOX COURT BASE?

Building a perfect Padelbox concrete base court steps:

Choose a suitable location: The padel court should be level and have good drainage. It should also be in a location that is easily accessible and has enough space for players to move around.
Measure the area: The standard size of a padel court is 20 meters by 10 meters, but it’s best to consult with PADELBOX and your architect to ensure that the court will fit in the chosen location. Padelbox recommends a minimum space of 35 by 68 feet.
Prepare the ground: The ground should be leveled and compacted, and any grass or other vegetation should be removed.
Build the proper concrete slab following the next steps:

Excavate the area: The depth of the excavation should be deep enough to allow for the slab and a layer of compacted gravel.
Add a layer of compacted gravel: The gravel provides a stable base for the concrete slab and helps with drainage. The gravel should be compacted to ensure a level surface.
Form the slab: The slab should be minimum 12 inches thick and should be formed to the dimensions of the court. The forms should be level and securely in place to ensure that the slab is the correct size and shape.
Pour and finish the concrete: The concrete should be poured in sections and finished with a trowel to create a smooth surface. The slab should be left to cure for at least 28 days before it can be used.

It’s important to use high-quality concrete and to consult with an experienced contractor to ensure that the slab is properly designed and constructed to meet the safety and durability requirements of your padel court.

5. Maintaining the Court: Regular maintenance of the court is important to ensure that it remains in good condition. This includes cleaning and sweeping the surface, as well as checking and tightening any loose bolts or screws.

It is important to consult with PADELBOX experts when building a padel court to ensure that it meets the standard size and safety requirements.

Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety first certified Padel court

Pavilion Landscape by RIOS

Meticulous describes every inch of this landscape renovation for a detail-oriented client.

Two new outdoor pavilions anchor the property: one serving the existing pool, the other adjoining a new court for Padel, a racket sport similar to paddle tennis. The existing home’s massive wood beams influenced the overall look of the pavilions, both of which are clad in seven-inch-wide shou-sugi-ban-treatedboards.

This labor-intensive ancient Japanese technique preserves and waterproofs the sapele wood by charring its surface. Both structures are designed on a seven-inch module, so every window and door opening corresponds to a multiple of seven inches wide, leaving no partial boards. Both pavilions are true indoor/outdoor spaces, lit for night use, with televisions, heaters, and wet bars carefully concealed within.

Our design seamlessly joins two lots in Bel Air into a single estate, with multiple programmed spaces for outdoor activity.

A grove of olive trees at the property’s new driveway entrance creates a grand arrival sequence. Carefully manicured boxwood hedges flank crape myrtles, which burst into gorgeous white flowers each spring. Additional olive trees cascade down the hillside, their sculptural branches and thick foliage adding to the feeling of secluded expanse.

A series of formal allées frame the best views and knit all the various spaces together. The client’s specifications for the Padel court were just as exacting. We sank the fence posts deep underground so no fasteners are exposed. The fact that the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety had never certified a Padel court made the process even more challenging. ARTICLE BY RIOS.

How to choose the best racket?

The weight of a racket:

Most rackets range between 355gr. and 395gr. A light racket would be between 355 gr and 375gr. A heavy racket would range 375gr to 395gr.

Lighter rackets are suitable for beginners and women as they are easier to handle.

Thickness of the racket:

Most rackets range 36mm to 38mm. Advanced players should use thicker rackets to hit the ball harder. For beginners it is recommended thinner rackets because they are easier to use.

Materials of the racket:

Most of the frame of the racket is made of fiberglass or carbon. The face may contain kevlar. Carbon and kevlar are introduced to some higher end rackets to make them extra resistant to shocks and accidents. The face of a padel racket is usually made of soft materials (foam) or hard materials (eva). A high-density, also known as firm core, the racket provides more power. A low density, also known as soft core, the racket provides more control. A soft core paddle also provides more comfort and is a better choice for a player with tennis elbow. To choose the right one remains a personal choice.

The Club was asked to form the FIRST JUNIOR NATIONAL PADEL TEAM for the upcoming world championship.

Passion of million amateur players in countries like Mexico, Argentina, Spain, Brazil, Canada and, more recently, the United Kingdom, Padel seeks its place in the United States, and makes it big.

In a country of followers of all types of sports, padel has appeared a few years ago in states like Florida, New York, California and Texas. It now has a non-profit organization dedicated to promote the sport: the United States Padel Association (USPA), now led by Mike May, its chairman at the time of the Houstonian Club. Even so, padel is still looking to achieve the union of other racquet sports, their close relatives, such as tennis, squash, badminton or even pin-pong.

Teams of men and women have participated in the last four world padel championships held since 2006 (they are every two years). But now the USPA has his sights on what he considers the key to the massive development of the sport in the U.S.: the creation of seed from youth categories.

The first step of the plan is a bold call: the formation of three female and three male teams to compete in World Youth Padel Championship to be held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, between 29 October and 3 November this year.

“It’s challenging, but not impossible, so I’m sure we’ll be there with the best possible team,” says Fernando Alarcon, general manager of The Club, the padel and tennis complex, minutes away from The Woodlands, south of Creekside Park. Commissioned by the USPA, The Club is responsible for recruiting candidates across the United States, organize trials, select and train for competition.

Alarcón is the director, strategist and leader of this program USPA while Claudio Trevisan, the padel head coach of The Club, will be the head-coach of the U.S. team. Alarcon and Trevisan, both natives of Argentina, come from a successful and long career as professional padel players in their country. Fernando has lived for a decade in the U.S., where he arrived to study at the University of Missouri (got there an MBA in finance) and this year took over management of The Club.

Alarcon and Trevisán have little more than four months to fulfill the mission that the USPA has given them, and therefore already working full time at the call of players in categories 14, 16 and 18 years: 4 female and 4 male for every category, 24 in total. No matter where you live or where you play, the USPA ahead. In addition to the team for the World Cup this year, they have the same task for 2015.

Padel in USA

Padel in the United States

In this post we will look at the different padel facilities in the United States. We are very excited to play Padel in Los Angeles, California soon but for those that can’t wait until that happens we will show you the other “nearby” places where you can play in the meantime. For now, padel is played in two states: Texas (3 locations) and Florida (2 locations). New York and California will hopefully be added soon to the list as there are advanced projects to have courts available soon!First, we will start with Texas since it is where padel first landed in the United States. The first padel court was installed in The Houstonian, an upscale hotel in Houston, Texas. Here they started with one court that was built in 1993 and later added two courts due to their tremendous success. In 1993, the United States Padel Association (USPA) was also formed at this location.

Here is a video of The Houstonian padel facilities:

Another nearby facility is Sports Culture in The Woodlands, Texas. Here you can check out their activities and join them: http://www.sportsculture.net/racquet-sports/padel/

The third padel center in this state is The Club in Spring, Texas. It is also the newest facility in the United States as they just opened their padel doors in April of 2013. They have installed three astonishing padel courts that you can see in the image below:

For more information on how to join The Club you can visit their website: http://www.theclubtw.com

Second, we will take a look at the facilities in Florida. This state counts with AB Sport Club in Miami, a facility dedicated to the wellness of its members. It not only offers padel but also fitness. AB Sport Club has opened a new facility that counts with state of the art machinery.

Look at the very special visit they received! Do you recognize Carlos Moya?? Ex number one in the world tennis player and Roland Garros winner (among other titles).

Check out their website for more information http://www.absportclub.com.

The other club in Florida is Miami Padel as its name hints; it is in Miami! This facility has two padel courts; its peculiarity is that these courts are built on top of two tennis courts as you can see in the picture below. This location has been open for almost four years and still going and improving! Here is a picture:

We hope you are ready to play padel! Join our facebook or twitter to follow up on news and events.

Padel is arriving to California!!

Welcome all to our new web! Our goal is to keep you up to date on Padel in California,the entire United States and around the world!

Also, we would love to hear from you, are you a padel player?

Why is everybody talking about Padel?

Padel is the fastest growing racquet sport in the world! It is played in more than 20 countries (Spain, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Chile, UK, France, Italy, Australia, China, United States, United Arab Emirates and many more).

It is a combination of tennis and racquetball: – the scoring is the same as tennis – you use a ball very similar to tennis – you can use the walls much like racquetball As opposed to tennis, you play with a paddle (a shorter racquet made of foam, with wholes and up to 38 mm thick). Most padel courts are outdoors (court dimensions: 66 by 33 feet) with artificial grass/turf as the dominant playing surface.
