New York City, New York, USA – July 18, 2024: The UK’s leading resource for the padel community has today announced the launch of its sister business, The Padel Directory USA, at a time of growing interest in padel in the world’s largest sports market.
The Padel Directory USA, as it will be known, becomes the first business of its kind to launch on the U.S. padel scene, and arrives just two months after the launch of its sister company in the UK, a nation which, like the United States, is well known for its passion for racket sports. The Directory, founded by student entrepreneur George Modler, and Signature Sports Coaching Founder, Ben Harris, arrives at the perfect time given the growing appetite in the U.S. for padel information amongst the 100,000-strong padel community.
The Padel Directory USA will serve as a one-stop shop website, marketplace and community for padel, a sport which is now following fast in the footsteps of fellow racket sport pickleball, which itself has become a huge success across the U.S. with over 36 million players nationwide.
As padel continues its rapid ascent in popularity across the United States with an estimated $22m being invested into court construction alone this year - and with estimations of 30,000 courts being constructed by 2030 - The Padel Directory USA is designed to support and fuel the sport's growth nationwide, and to serve all members of the American community including players, centers, coaches and padel businesses under one roof for the very first time. The innovative platform also aims to mirror the success seen in other thriving padel communities worldwide, and to take learnings from The Padel Directory in the UK into the U.S. market, given the cultural synergies between the two nations.
The Padel Directory USA Founders, George Modler and Ben Harris said: “We are delighted to announce the upcoming launch of The Padel Directory USA at a time when the sport is beginning to gain speed right across America. As a sport grows, and an industry forms, it is essential the community has a place where they can find the information they need, whether that be new courts and clubs, like minded players to connect with, the best racket brands to try and the best events to attend. Information on padel in the U.S. is currently disparate and hard to find, so now is the right time for us to address this and launch the Directory. Padel in America is now well on its way, and we want to play our part in bringing the community together under one roof for the first time so that millions of padel enthusiasts can discover whatever they need to know to feed their padel appetite.”
Alongside Modler and Harris, it has been announced that Ben Nichols and Austin Edwards will serve as advisors. Nichols is the Founder CEO of the New Padel World’s leading padel-dedicated Communications and Marketing Consultancy, Padel 22, and Edwards is the Founding Editor of leading American padel media site, The Padel State.
The Padel Directory USA Advisor, Ben Nichols said: “Since the start of my padel journey two years ago, I’ve had a keen eye on the American market, wondering when, just when, the world’s largest sports market would join the padel party. The first six months of 2024 have demonstrated that America has done just that, with at least 25 new clubs having opened or announced upcoming openings, and over $20m being invested into court construction. I’ve admired the forward-thinking approach George and Ben have had in getting the Directory to market in my home country, and believe the time could not be better to grow this service for the U.S. market, too. I’m looking forward to playing a role in the American chapter of their journey.”
The Padel Directory USA Advisor, Austin Edwards added: “I am pleased to help support The Padel Directory USA as they launch this unique and valuable service that will greatly benefit the growing American padel community. With dozens of new clubs opening in the U.S. this year alone, and all the attention this highly-addictive racket sport is getting, there’s a real need for more quality, reliable information about the industry’s key businesses, brands, and players. This is exactly what The Padel Directory USA will help provide in a way no other business currently is., So,I’m really looking forward to playing a role in their U.S. expansion.
