The people in schools and universities responsible for the decision, build, and running of new facilities
Every new padel facility starts and ends with the people who run the institution. The Campus Squad brings together the decision-makers who approve and finance each partnership, and the beneficiaries who will shape, deliver and live with the facility once it opens.
Just as importantly, members of the Campus Squad share best practices with each other — so you can pick up tips, shortcuts, and lessons learned from peers who are further down the line on planning, funding, building and launching padel facilities at their own schools and universities.
