Central meeting of the German Padel Community on 17.11.2018 in Karlsruhe

Due to the ongoing standstill in the development of padel sports in Germany, a large group of neutral padel players, padel coaches, padel locations and padel supporters got together to finally cut the Gordian knot with a central meeting and help padel to break through in Germany.

In a letter to the two German padel associations German Padel Association and German Padel Federationwhich is available to Padel-Test in the original, the leaders of the two associations are requested to attend a meeting on 17 November 2018 in Karlsruhe (Padel court TC Grötzingen) to participate. A list of acceptances and cancellations can be found at the end of the text. This event is to be moderated by a mediator who will lead the talks between DPV and DPB.


Among other things, the following questions will be answered:

- What is the status of the negotiations for the 1 association solution?

- Why are members not allowed to run for office in the new federation?

- Why can't members elect their own leaders?

- Do the current leaders of both associations represent the interests of the German padel community or do they have other goals in mind?

- What does the sporting future look like with regard to the A team, ladies, seniors and youth?

- What is the nomination procedure for the national team?

 

These questions and those that will certainly arise during the panel discussion should be answered urgently.

The topics and the venue, which is still to be determined, are to be communicated promptly in the form of an agenda.

In the interest of the further development of the sport of padel in Germany, the signatories hereby ask all padel enthusiasts, padel maniacs and padel lovers to engage in dialogue!
