Aforza has partnered with Padel Canada to install Calgary’s first-ever indoor Padel courts. There are three courts inside our building and available for booking by both public and members during regular business hours. The courts are installed as part of a trial from August 2021 to September 2022.
Padel is a unique mixture of tennis and squash. It is played over a tennis net, using the tennis scoring system and tennis balls, but on a 10- x 20-metre court with enclosed glass walls — much like a squash court.
Padel was created in Mexico in 1969 and is now hugely popular in many European and Latin American countries. In Spain it is now second only to football in participation numbers. The number of courts in the UK has doubled in just one 18-month period. Padel is often said to be the fastest-growing sport in the world and one of the most fun and addictive.
Tennis players naturally gravitate to Padel. Just ask Daniel Nester, former #1-ranked doubles player in the world and a Davis Cup player for Canada. Daniel loves the sport so much that he is spearheading two new locations for indoor Padel in Canada. Rafa Nadal, Maria Sharapova, Andy Murray and Martina Hingis are also enthusiastic about this sport.
