Why we back padel

Every new padel club is a hiring problem before it is a padel problem.

About 1.07 million Americans played padel in 2025, the first year the sport was counted at all. Most of the new courts are opening in Florida, Texas and California, and every one of them needs coaches, a front-desk team and event crews, often in several states, hired faster than an HR function can be built.

That is the problem WorkGenius works on every day. We are the title sponsor of the Open and the Official Payroll Partner of Padel X, which means the people who run the club are employed and paid through us.

Padel is always played in pairs. Neither player covers the whole court; each takes the side they play best. Employment works the same way. The club directs the work. We employ and pay the people, in every state they work in.

Padel is played in pairs. So is employment.

A padel court split at the net: the club runs its side, WorkGenius runs employment and payroll on the other. The club runs the club WorkGenius employs and pays the people
Their side. Courts, coaching, members, the tournament.
Our side. Employment, payroll, compliance and benefits in all 50 states.

That is the conversation we most want to have. Bring your opening plan and your states; we will walk you through how coaches, front-desk teams and event crews get employed and paid through WorkGenius.

I am not in Miami that weekend.

The finals are streamed live on Sunday, November 22. For the work side, book a remote demo and we will cover the same ground in 30 minutes.
