Padel 4 All - Padel as a tool for enhancing physical activity

The general objective of Padel 4 All is to promote Padel as a tool for enhancing physical activity among youth, families and seniors in Central Europe. In the course of the project the consortium will aim to disseminate understanding of the game, promoting the social aspect of the game and ease of participation. Padel 4 All aims is to create a Mobile Padel Court and together with strategic promotion campaigns of the sport, to engage youth, seniors and families in physical activity. With the use of Mobile Padel Court, the consortium plans to engage with target groups in places of public interest e.g. town squares or boulevards, to tackle the barrier of geographical accessibility and take advantage of people already spending their time in those locations to engage them in physical activity and social interactions. The Padel 4 All project aims to take advantage of the accessibility of Padel both in terms of low infrastructure need and ease of participation, as well as promote the social aspect of the sport. Consortium of the project consists of 4 National Padel Federations located in Central Europe i.e. Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Germany, and a think tank specialized in innovations located in the Netherlands. Padel 4 All would like to tackle the issues of physical inactivity and lack of social interactions which grew significantly due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Activities to be implemented: 1. Baseline study determining the position of Padel in Central Europe and determination of potential strategies to engage with target groups 2. Creation of Mobile Padel Court to be used as a promotion tool in participating countries 3. Pilot implementation of promotion strategy and events with the use of Mobile Padel Court in 4 countries 4.
