This blog comes from a real club: Padel La Galera, in Gran Canaria. Here we explain how a padel ranking is organised, how each player's level is measured and how to set up a league that members actually want to play. We also look at what depending on a booking marketplace really costs and how to keep the relationship with members in the club's hands.
Every article is written for club owners, managers and players who want practical ideas they can use this season, without long manuals and without jargon. You can read them in Spanish, English and German.

This padel club blog collects what we have learned building ranking and club operations for a real club. If you run a club, start with the articles on level and ranking: they explain how points are measured, what each category means and why members come back when they can see their progress.
If daily club operations are your worry, continue with bookings and costs: there we compare what already works in your club with what a booking marketplace charges. And if you want to launch a competition, the league article explains the schedule, the groups and result confirmation step by step.
We publish calmly and only when we have something useful to say. If you miss a topic about ranking, leagues, bookings or club operations, write to us and we will turn it into the next article.
