About Us

FOUNDED IN USA, 2018

Absolute Padel brings the fastest growing sport in the world to North America

The brightest minds in athletic court construction, facility design, and the racquet sports industry have come together to create Absolute Padel and partner with you to bring the fastest growing sport in the world to North America.

Our team has a combined 100 years of experience building courts and in engineering, permitting, construction, and logistics right here in the USA. Embracing padel and providing you with the best source and service for this highly addictive sport is a no brainer.

We are the only padel court manufacture and installer based in North America. With Absolute Padel, you don’t just buy a padel court, you gain a partner in your business. We are here to help you in every aspect of your PADEL venture.

We have “been there, done that” for all aspects of Padel.
Owning clubs, installing courts, providing certifications, merchandising, etc. No one in the US has the knowledge base and experience that Absolute Padel has.
If you want to guarantee the success of padel in your club, as we see it, we are your only option.

The heart our company is our distribution network. We have over 150 Absolute Padel court installers right here in North America who can help you with everything from design, engineering, site work, and court construction. And, of course, service.
Other companies bring an uninsured crew from Europe to work for a couple days to install a court, leaving you liable for problems that can arise.
Absolute Padel is with you for the long-haul. We don’t have clients, we have partners. That’s why the largest racquet clubs in the USA have chosen Absolute Padel to be their partner.
You should too.
