Taktika Padel — which is the largest padel club operator in the U.S. with multiple facilities spread across California in cities like San Diego, Los Angeles, Stockton, Palm Desert, and Sunnyvale — will be hosting a PPL event for the third time.
Ryan Redondo, the CEO of Taktika Padel and co-owner of the San Diego Stingrays PPL franchise said, “We are thrilled to host the Pro Padel League this August in San Diego, California. The PPL stands as the premier team padel event globally, and we are confident that the city of San Diego, along with the award-winning Barnes Tennis Center/Taktika Padel, will deliver an outstanding event for the league.
Moreover, with thousands of padel enthusiasts at Taktika Padel and our neighboring regions south of the border, we eagerly anticipate showcasing the world’s best talent. This event will not only captivate existing fans but also introduce the beauty of padel to those who have yet to experience it in the United States market, a fundamental value of the Pro Padel League.”
