The idea and the opportunity
Demand for padel hours in New Cairo, Sheikh Zayed, October and the North Coast outstrips supply at peak times (6 pm to midnight). Courts rent by the hour, with extra income from coaching, tournaments and a café.
Target customer
- Young professionals aged 22–45
- Compound and new-city residents
- Companies running team-building
- Kids and juniors for the academy
