Druid Padel

What Druid Padel does

Druid Padel is an Irish-owned, female-founded company that operates community-centred padel clubs and supplies turnkey padel court solutions. Founded by padel specialists Set2Win and international sports marketing firm Druid Sport, the company is led by CEO Edel Clarke and runs three Dublin clubs: SPORTSCO (Dublin 4, two outdoor Padel Galis courts), Coolmine RFC (Dublin 15, four courts including a Loghouse Show Court) and Kimmage at BD Gyms Carlisle (Dublin 12, three covered courts with a clubhouse, pro shop and food and beverage). Across nine courts, Druid Padel offers pay-and-play court access booked through the Playtomic platform, structured coaching aligned with the Rafa Nadal Academy, leagues, tournaments and corporate packages for clients including CitiBank, ESB, Three Ireland and Deloitte. The Build Padel division operates as Ireland's exclusive distributor of Padel Galis courts — the manufacturer used on the World Padel Tour — and supplies, installs and project-manages court projects nationwide across eight court models (Mundial, M360, WPT Challenger, Wilson Elite, PPA, WPT Special Edition, Ultrapanoramic, Hurricane), supported by an ecosystem of canopy (Fordingbridge) and acoustic (Piranha Padel) partners.

The business model combines four revenue streams: per-booking court fees, recurring corporate memberships and event contracts, one-time turnkey court installation projects, and Babolat equipment retail and rental across all clubhouses (Druid Padel is the official Babolat padel distributor in Ireland). Go-to-market is community-led, with social events, tournaments, brand ambassador activity (Rachael Blackmore) and youth development (Gaisce Challenge Partner) used to drive member acquisition and corporate sales. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; corporate packages are quote-based. The company is privately held with 1-10 employees and no institutional funding rounds disclosed.
