Due Ponti Sporting Club

What Due Ponti Sporting Club does

Due Ponti Sporting Club is a private non-profit sports association (Società Sportiva Dilettantistica a r.l.) founded in 1992 by Emanuele and Pietro Tornaboni, operating a single 5-hectare multi-purpose sports facility in Roma Nord within the Parco di Veio. The club delivers a horizontally diversified sports and wellness offering under one roof: a Tennis School staffed by FITP-certified federal instructors, a Padel Academy (seven courts, three covered) led by former professional Diego Del Percio, a Swimming School covering ages from 4 months to master-level competition, group fitness courses (Group Cycle, Sala Pesi, Aqua Fitness), Pilates Reformer sessions, free-swim access, a Junior Academy for youth, a 1,000 sqm SPA, and a daily Bar & Restaurant (17:00-22:00). Operational scale is anchored by 200 hours of weekly activities, 120 available federal instructors, and 500 sqm of private parking with two Enel X EV chargers.

The business model is fundamentally direct-to-consumer membership subscriptions complemented by activity-based fees, F&B, and ancillary wellness revenue. Pricing is segmented (e.g., Pilates Reformer at €10 for members, €20 for non-members), and the Padel Academy operates structured quarterly curricula with level-homogeneous cohorts. Distribution is omnichannel — website, Facebook, Twitter, email ([email protected]), WhatsApp for padel bookings, Playtomic for court reservations, and on-site signups via the central secretariat and dedicated Gold/pool desks. The club also runs reciprocal free-padel access at Cassiantica Sporting Fitness and Circolo Canottieri della Vittoria through the Playtomic integration, effectively extending member utility without capex.

Revenue is not publicly disclosed; no funding events, acquisitions, M&A, or external investors are reported. Ownership remains with the founding Tornaboni family, and the core staff of 21 personnel is supplemented by 120 contracted federal instructors. Sponsor logos (Enel X, Sara, Head, Mizuno, Valmora, Pharmaguida, BMW, Mini, Sict, Cassiantica) point to commercial sponsorship arrangements rather than enterprise customer revenue.
