Padel Club Revenue Model: How Profitable Is a Padel Club?

January 18, 202611 min read

What does a profitable padel club actually look like? Here are real revenue benchmarks from operating clubs across multiple markets.

Revenue Split

The industry standard revenue breakdown for a well-run padel club:

Revenue Stream% of TotalWhat It Includes

|---------------|-----------|------------------|

Court Rental60%Hourly bookings, memberships, league play
Coaching15%Private lessons, group clinics, academies
F&B12%Café, bar, vending, catering for events
Events8%Tournaments, corporate events, birthday parties
Other5%Pro shop, merchandise, partnerships

Three Scenarios

Every financial model should include conservative, realistic, and optimistic projections. Here's what each looks like for a 6-court standard club:

Conservative (45% occupancy)

  • Monthly revenue: $36,000-$45,000
  • Monthly opex: $32,000-$38,000
  • Net margin: 5-15%
  • Status: Breakeven — covers costs but minimal profit
  • Realistic (60% occupancy)

  • Monthly revenue: $55,000-$72,000
  • Monthly opex: $35,000-$48,000
  • Net margin: 20-30%
  • Status: Profitable — healthy returns, reinvestment capacity
  • Optimistic (75% occupancy)

  • Monthly revenue: $72,000-$95,000
  • Monthly opex: $38,000-$52,000
  • Net margin: 35-45%
  • Status: Strong — above 75% suggests you need more courts
  • Key KPIs

    Track these numbers monthly:

  • Revenue per court per month — Target $8K-$15K depending on your market
  • Occupancy rate — Below 45% is concerning, 60% is healthy, 75%+ means expand
  • Coaching utilization — What % of booked hours include coaching? Target 20%+
  • F&B spend per visit — Track average spend, target $8-$15 per visit
  • Customer acquisition cost — How much does a new member cost? Target under $50
  • Churn rate — Monthly member turnover. Below 5% is excellent
  • The Coaching Multiplier

    Coaching is where margins explode. A court rented at $60/hr generates $60. That same court with a $40/hr coaching session generates $100 — 67% more revenue from the same hour. Clubs that invest in coaching programs (academies, kids programs, corporate clinics) consistently outperform those that don't.

    Seasonality

    Most markets see 15-25% revenue variation between peak and off-peak seasons:

  • Peak months: September-May (fall/winter/spring in northern hemisphere)
  • Off-peak: June-August (summer — people travel, outdoor activities compete)
  • Exception: Indoor clubs in hot climates (Dubai, Saudi) peak during summer when outdoor sports are impossible
  • Plan for seasonality in your financial model. The worst month should still cover fixed costs.
