How Does Your Facility Actually Stack Up?

Most facility operators are making decisions without real benchmarks. You know your own numbers, but you don't know how they compare to everyone else's.

IAPPF and CourtReserve are partnering to change that. We're combining CourtReserve's platform data from 2,300+ US and Canadian facilities with IAPPF's operator network and padel market intelligence to produce the industry's first real benchmark report.

But the data can only tell part of the story. We need your perspective — your challenges, your confidence level, your investment plans — to complete the picture.

That's what this survey is for.

Why Should I Participate?

You should participate if you've ever asked yourself any of these:

Is my revenue per court above or below the industry average?

Are other facilities struggling with the same staffing and retention challenges I am?

How many facilities are actually investing in padel right now?

What technology are top-performing facilities using that I'm not?

Is the rest of the industry as confident (or worried) about the next 12 months as I am?

What revenue model — membership, pay-per-play, hybrid — is actually winning?

Every survey participant gets access to the full report when it publishes later this summer. No paywall, no upsell. Just provide your email at the end of the survey.

"For too long, our industry has been making investment and operational decisions without reliable benchmarks. This report changes that. Neither of us could have done this alone — and that's exactly the point."

David Johnson

President, IAPPF
