The Padel Tournament 2023: a grand day of thrills, skill, and networking!

The Padel Tournament 2023 was a great blend of sports, socializing, and having a good time. Held on Thursday, June 29th, 2023, at the lively Padeldam in Amsterdam, the event exceeded all expectations, giving participants an unforgettable day. Let's look back at this special day.

The venue: Padeldam, the heart of padel in Amsterdam

Padeldam, positioned on the edge of Amsterdam Nieuw-West and a short ten-minute drive from Haarlem, was the perfect setting for our event. Its facilities include eight outdoor courts and three spacious indoor courts, making it an ideal locale for the sport growing rapidly in popularity across the Netherlands. Padeldam, with its multiple activities, congenial atmosphere, and short tournaments, aims to combine the fun of padel with the community spirit of a club.

A day of padel action

The day started with a warm welcome to all the participants, leading to an exciting Padel event featuring the ‘King of the Court style’ game. The day's highlight was undeniably the crowning of the champions - Manouk from ProductHero and Dennis from PlayChoice+. Congrats!

Battling the elements

Even though it was lightly raining, the players were still excited. The rain actually made the games more fun, challenging the players' skills and ability to adjust. The happiness of playing and the excitement of competing were stronger than the weather, making the day even more special to remember.

A time for celebration and connections

After the exciting games, the event easily changed into a lively get-together. It was a time for everyone to relax, think about the day's games, and learn more about each other away from the court. The air was filled with fun chats, laughter, and shared stories. This part of the evening showed what we love at Padeldam - a mix of fun, Padel, and a strong feeling of being part of a group.

Our contribution

The successful hosting was a collective effort by us at Amsterdam Standard, and our sister companies, GlobalOrange, YouSir, and Expandior.
