Clubs, Academies and Coaches

THE MOMENT

What Paraguayan padel has built in just a few years is remarkable. Over 500,000 players, more than 2,000 courts, near-total digitalization and a penetration level that countries with decades of history have yet to reach.

That growth brings a new phase. Asunción already has 875 residents per court — one of the highest densities in the world. Competition between clubs is shifting from quantity to quality, from opening to consolidation.

Spain, the world's largest padel market, has already traveled this same path. The phases ahead — management professionalization, experience differentiation, player retention — are well documented. They don't need to be invented. They need to be adapted.

Our approach is straightforward: to make that accumulated experience available to Paraguayan clubs and academies, so that every project can move forward with more information and less trial and error.

We work in Paraguay, where we operate every day, and we support projects in South American markets where padel is just beginning to grow — Bolivia, Peru and others — bringing the methodology and expertise developed over the last 15 years in markets that were once emerging as well.

SERVIces

In what areas can we contribute?

Opening a padel club today is nothing like it was five years ago. The cost has moved from around USD 15,000 for an artisanal court to USD 200,000–300,000 for a competitive indoor complex. Location, number of courts, business model and operations are decided before the first brick is laid — and those decisions shape profitability for years.

We support those developing a new club or a chain, from idea to opening:

Opening a club — or several?

NEW PROJECTS

• Location validation and sizing — how many courts, indoor/outdoor, based on the real saturation of the area.

• Business model and financial projection — design, pricing, occupancy, cantina and yield.

• Supplier selection — courts, turf, lighting and glass, with no commissions involved.

• Launch — operational structure and management technology.

• Academy and youth development from day one.

We don't sell a generic turnkey project. We give you the judgment so that yours doesn't repeat mistakes already documented in more mature markets.

Shared experience, joint effort.

Teko Padel is the local platform of World of Padel, an independent consultancy with over 15 years in the padel industry.

I'm Fernando Blanca, Spanish, an economist, and I've spent over 12 years in international business development in padel. I came to Paraguay because what I saw here struck me as extraordinary: a market that built in a few years what took others decades.

I bring with me the experience of the Spanish market — the largest and most established in the world — where I have seen firsthand what works, what doesn't, and why. That experience is not a lesson. It is a resource. It is available to anyone who wants to make use of it.

Today I live in Asunción. I play on its courts. And I work with those who want to build something together.
