Padel 22

9 in 10 players come back after their first session of padel.

That stat gets repeated a lot. What doesn’t get asked nearly enough is what happens at month six. Or year two. Because a first-session return rate tells you the sport is fun. It doesn’t tell you whether it gives people a reason to keep showing up once the novelty wears off.

The Insider 22 Snapshot is out today. Tech, Data & Retention — six operational shifts already separating the clubs that will thrive in the next phase from the ones that will merely survive it.

Retention is the quiet metric most clubs aren’t tracking properly.

On July 23rd, Wouter Kloosterman from Authic | Your #1 Loyalty Platform! joins Insider 22 to share what four and a half years of club retention data actually shows — what keeps players coming back for years, what shifts off-peak utilisation, and how sponsor relationships become real revenue.

Padel is a global sport. The no. 1 business community of padel should be too.

Insider 22 has members in 17 countries — operators, founders, investors, and brands building the next chapter of this industry from London to Sydney, New York to Stockholm, Cape Town to Manila.

The conversations happening inside the community reflect that range. What’s working in the UK doesn’t always translate to the US. What’s scaling in Spain is only just arriving in India. The nuance matters — and it only exists because the room is global.
