Padel Club Launch Blueprint: What Every Section Needs

January 28, 202610 min read

A solid launch blueprint is the difference between a padel club that thrives and one that fails. Here's what every section needs and why it matters.

Executive Summary

Your executive summary should answer five questions in two paragraphs: What are you building? Where? How much will it cost? What's the expected return? What makes you qualified?

Keep it specific. "A 6-court hybrid padel club in Wynwood, Miami targeting $72K monthly revenue at 60% occupancy with $820K total investment and 16-20 month breakeven" beats "a premium sports facility."

Market Analysis

Real market data, not guesses:

  • Court count in your city — How many courts exist within 30km?
  • Growth rate — Is the market growing 20%+ year-over-year? The global average is 15%.
  • Saturation level — Markets with fewer than 10 courts per 100,000 population still have strong demand.
  • Pricing benchmarks — What do competitors charge? Ranges vary dramatically: $40/hr in Bangkok to $120/hr in Miami.
  • Demographics — Population within 15km, household income, age distribution (25-45 is the sweet spot).

    • Financial Model

    This is where most people get it wrong. Your financial model needs three scenarios — not one optimistic projection.

    Revenue typically splits: 60% court rental, 15% coaching, 12% F&B, 13% events/merchandise/other. These ratios hold globally with minor variation.

    Supplier Directory

    Don't just list suppliers — compare them:

    Operations Playbook

    A 6-court club needs approximately 11 staff members. Break down roles, salaries, and scheduling. Include KPIs: target 60% occupancy in year one, 75% by year two. Track revenue per court per month — healthy clubs hit $8K-$15K depending on market.

    What Most People Miss

    The plan itself isn't the goal — it's the decision-making framework. Every section should help you answer: "Should I do this, and if so, how?" If your plan reads like a school essay, start over.
