An intriguing new racquet sports concept is coming to the East Valley with Padel Pals, which will open later this year at 4945 S. 71st Street in Mesa. The rapidly expanding sport of padel will be the emphasis of this future indoor facility, which will provide players with a full-service setting that combines competitive play with a strong sense of community and convenience.
An area intended for play and interaction
The location will be one of the most complete racquet sports venues in the area, including seven indoor padel courts and one pickleball court. In addition to sports facilities, the facility has pre- and post-game areas, a Kid’s Zone, a lounge with food and beverages, and co-working spaces. The options will be completed with a pro store, enabling players to prepare for each game.
The venture’s visionaries
Oscar Valdez, a professional boxer, Carlos Pereyra, and Armando Acevedo established Padel Pals. They want to establish a friendly, multifunctional space for gamers of all abilities. Off the court, lively social areas that promote community development will support professional coaching, leisure leagues, and competitive tournaments.
The sport and its allure
Padel is a dynamic sport with tennis-like scoring and sturdy racquets that originated in Mexico and is played in enclosed courts. Usually played in doubles, it’s becoming more and more well-liked in the US, particularly among players seeking a lively and sociable substitute for pickleball or tennis.
Making a difference in a crowded market
With locations like PURE Pickleball & Padel in Scottsdale and The Pad in Tucson, racquet sports are popular in Phoenix. However, Padel Pals wants to set itself apart with its indoor-only padel format and full-service amenities. It is well-positioned to service the surrounding towns of Eastmark, Gilbert, Chandler, and Tempe thanks to its Mesa location.
