What a week at RacquetX in Miami 🎾🔥 I had the honor of speaking on the “Investing In Your People” panel at the Club Summit alongside Brian David Dillman (Racquet Sports Professionals Association) and Matt Grayson (Ansley Golf Club) powerful conversation about leadership, team building, and the value of people in driving long-term success in racquet sports. As COO of Epic Padel Inc and President of Blue Chip Sports Management I also spent time connecting with companies that align with our vision for innovation and growth. We’re just getting started. College of BILT at Marymount University Big congrats to Robyn Duda and her team for a world-class event that brought the industry together in all the right ways. Let’s build what’s next. 👊 #EpicPadel #BlueChipSports #RacquetX #Padel #ClubSummit #LeadershipMatters #SportsBusiness #FutureOfSport

Prosperity Athletic Club Press Release Epic Padel Inc Announces 6 Courts at Prosperity Athletic Club in Charlotte, NC Charlotte, NC – EPIC Padel is proud to announce the opening of its first padel courts at Prosperity Athletic Club, a family-owned tennis, pickleball, and swim club that has been a cornerstone of Charlotte’s athletic community for over 25 years. This exciting partnership brings the world’s fastest-growing sport to one of the country’s most vibrant and active regions. Located in North Charlotte, Prosperity Athletic Club is perfectly positioned to introduce padel to a thriving tennis and pickleball community. With 12 lighted har-tru tennis courts, 6 lighted pickleball courts, a year-round indoor pool, and a clubhouse offering fitness and personal training, the club is already a hub of athletic activity. Adding 6 padel courts to its offerings is a natural next step in continuing its legacy as a premier destination for sports enthusiasts. Jeremy Speicher, USPTA owner of Prosperity Athletic Club, shared his excitement about the collaboration: "We at Prosperity Athletic Club are thrilled to partner with Epic Padel. Tim Bainton and I have known each other for many years, and I can't think of a more dynamic and forward-thinking leader. When Tim and I first spoke about this project, I was excited. I believe this exciting sport is a perfect complement to our facility. The team behind Epic Padel has impressed me with their professionalism and their vision, and I couldn't think of a better partner." While this marks EPIC Padel’s first courts, the company has already made significant strides in the padel industry through key investments in partners like Padel39, Hexagon Cup, Clutch AI, Padel India, and the Pro Padel League Team New York Atlantics. These investments reflect EPIC’s broader mission to support the growth of padel globally and create a thriving padel community. Now, with their first courts in Charlotte, EPIC is taking the next step in realizing this vision. Tim Bainton, COO of EPIC Padel, remarked: "Charlotte is an ideal location for padel. With its moderate year-round climate and a thriving tennis and pickleball scene, we see enormous potential for this sport to flourish in the region. We are thrilled to partner with Prosperity Athletic Club to bring padel to this vibrant community. Together, we are not only introducing a new sport but building a foundation for a passionate and inclusive padel community." The 6 padel courts at Prosperity Athletic Club will feature EPIC Padel’s signature high-quality designs, ensuring players a top-tier experience. This collaboration reflects both organizations’ commitment to fostering an inclusive, family-friendly environment where players of all ages and skill levels can enjoy the game. Saud H. A.

🌍 𝑷𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒍’𝒔 𝑶𝒓𝒊𝒈𝒊𝒏𝒔: 𝑭𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝑴𝒆𝒙𝒊𝒄𝒐 𝒕𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑾𝒐𝒓𝒍𝒅 🌍 As padel continues to grow at an extraordinary pace, it’s important to remember where it all began. At EPIC Padel, we’re proud to be part of the sport’s rapid rise in North America, but we always honour its roots. ✨ Padel started in Mexico in 1969, when Enrique Corcuera added walls to his home tennis court, creating a game that was more social, strategic, and accessible. From there, it spread to Spain and Argentina, becoming a global sensation. 🇲🇽🇪🇸🇦🇷 Today, with over 30 million active players worldwide, padel is thriving—and we’re excited to help build its future while staying connected to its past. 🌟🎾 #epicpadel #padelhistory #thepadelmovement #padelcommunity #padelusa Tim Bainton Hala Sarkis Ben Nichols Oscar Sanger Jack Whishaw Padel Business Magazine Jonathan Dyson Austin Edwards The Padel Post Marcus Filipsson Padel Mecca Benji Markoff Mike Laflin Global Sustainable Sport Darryle Busa The Padel Weekly
