Allesvoorpadel a guest of the Bandejaboys

In the recent episode of the podcast Bandejaboys was allowed to join Allesvoorpadel to take a closer look at the technical side of padel courts. This podcast, highly recommended for padel enthusiasts, gives listeners the chance to discover what goes into building the perfect padel court.

What is involved in a padel court?
The hosts and Allesvoorpadel business manager Dennis Kloosterman discuss all kinds of essential aspects of runway construction. This goes far beyond simply placing a pitch; it is the technical details that determine the quality of the course and optimise the experience for players. From solid structures to lighting, this episode offers valuable insights for anyone who wants to understand how to create a peak performance experience.

Walls: Not just any glass walls
An interesting theme was fat windows of a padel court. Indeed, in a sport like padel, walls are an integral part of the game. Allesvoorpadel explains how these walls must meet strict requirements to absorb bumps and shocks from the ball without compromising player visibility and safety. With greasy walls, the ball can bounce differently than expected. This problem often starts with players wiping their sweat on the walls, which is not the intention.

The importance of sand on the track
Many players may not realise that the sand on a padel court also plays a big role in the quality of play. Allesvoorpadel explains why the amount and type of sand are essential for grip and speed. The sand ensures that the court is not too slippery while providing the right resistance. In addition, we explain how it is possible that some padel courts seem to have a lot of sand while others do not. Spoiler! This is due to the type of fibres of the artificial grass.

Construction and maintenance: basics of a padel court
The construction of a padel court largely determines its durability and safety. Allesvoorpadel describes how a well-thought-out foundation and the right materials contribute to a long lifespan, even with intensive use. Besides the construction phase, maintenance is also discussed, something that is often underestimated but indispensable to keep the court in top condition.

Lighting: the key to a good experience
Another crucial component is course lighting, something that can significantly affect the playing experience. Allesvoorpadel shares their expertise on how well-placed, quality lighting is not only important for good visibility, but also contributes to safety and the overall atmosphere.

The episode is a must-listen for anyone who wants to know more about padel courts, whether you are a player, coach, or even a padel club administrator. Allesvoorpadel's passion for their craft is evident and offers a behind-the-scenes look into the world of padel court construction.
