Why a padel clinic is the perfect company event

Are you looking for the ideal company outing where fun, team building, and sportsmanship come together? Discover padel, the sport that has become incredibly popular in the Netherlands in a very short time. At SimonSport, we see every day how a padel clinic brings teams closer together.

Here are five reasons why your next staff outing should take place on the padel court.

Accessible and for everyone

The great thing about padel is that it is incredibly accessible. Unlike tennis, where the technique can be tricky for beginners, everyone in padel is hitting the ball over the net within just a few minutes. Whether you are a natural athlete or someone who isn't as sporty, everyone can participate at their own level.

‍Team building in practice

Padel is always played 2 against 2, which means you have to learn to work together on the court. You need to communicate effectively: who takes which ball, and you have to come up with a good strategy together: who stands where, what position you take on the court, and where you are going to hit the ball. This strengthens the bonds between colleagues in the workplace.

The perfect mix of effort and relaxation 

A padel clinic at SimonSport is more than just an hour of hitting a ball. Led by our professional trainers, you will learn the basic techniques, play friendly matches, and we often finish with a nice drink. It is the perfect way to step away from the daily work routine. 

Healthy and energetic 

Exercise in the workplace is becoming increasingly important. A sporty outing not only provides a physical boost but also ensures mental freshness. According to research by TNO exercise leads to lower absenteeism and a better team atmosphere. A win-win situation for both the employer and the employee! 

Suitable for groups of all sizes

Whether you are a small team of 8 or looking to entertain an entire company of 80 employees, a padel clinic is highly scalable. While one group is training, the other can play matches or enjoy a drink.
