The free club report

What your club loses before anyone reaches your door.

A free report on the searches a player in your town actually runs, what your membership costs you, and what every venue within twenty minutes is like inside. Every currency figure is computed from your own published rates, with the arithmetic printed beside it so you can argue with any of it.

One form, five questions. The PDF comes back within 48 hours. No call.

Five things, ordered by what they cost you

Produced remotely, from what your club already publishes. It scores nothing it cannot observe, and every assumption is printed next to the number it produces.

01The searches a real player runsSeven high-intent queries someone in your town actually types, run and recorded on a stated date, with who takes each of those positions instead of you. At Pace Padel three of the seven found them, and the four they were missing from were the four run by people who had never heard of them.

02What the clubs around you are likeEvery venue within about twenty minutes, plus anything approved or under construction, scored on the nine measures from published evidence. This is the part that answers whether your peak is demand or scarcity. Plus your catchment's courts per 100,000 residents where the population data supports it.

03Your Google listing, your address and the directoriesThe primary category check, what your search snippet actually says against what it should, one consistent address string against the versions in circulation, and the facilities the directories advertise about you that your own website never mentions.

04What your membership costs you, and what else there is to buyThe crossover: the point, in court-hours a week, where your membership starts costing you more than pay-and-play, from your own rate and your own membership price with the arithmetic shown. Then coaching, racket hire, the route in for somebody who has never played, and your own calendar read for structured progression rather than one-off socials.

05What each finding costs you a yearComputed from your own published rates and nothing else, assumptions printed beside every number so you can argue with any of them, and set against your annual court capacity so you can see how small the whole list is.

The opening page of the free Padel Living report for Beaulieu Padel, showing a score of 40 out of 45 on the board against 0 of 7 searches their own website won in their own town — The first page of the free report for Beaulieu Padel, August 2026.

Beaulieu sits top of the board at 40/45. Its own website appeared in none of the seven searches a Chelmsford player would run.

Every currency figure is built from that club's own published rates, with the arithmetic printed beside it. No industry average appears anywhere in the document.

Sent as a PDF. No call, no deck, no follow-up sequence.

Four things this is not

Not a sales callThere is no call, no discovery session, no deck and no follow-up sequence. You fill in one form and a PDF comes back. Reading it and never replying is a normal outcome and costs you nothing.

Not a feasibility study, and not a business planIt does not tell you whether to build, how many courts your catchment supports, or what your numbers have to look like. You are already trading. That document is behind you.

Not a template with your name dropped inEvery currency figure is built from your own published rates, with the arithmetic printed next to it. No industry average appears anywhere in the document.

Not a verdict on your padelNothing in it scores your courts, your coaching or the standard of play. Plenty of people review those. This is everything around the game.

The fix list, if the report is worth acting on

The fix list

£500

£500 · €600 · founding price, everything in

Every page title and description written out, ready to paste, with character counts
Your membership rebuilt: one recommended answer with the new crossover computed, what it buys stated as numbers rather than benefits, the page written out, and the email to your existing members if the terms change for them — argued against a venue-by-venue table of what every club in your ring charges for theirs, what it includes, and which hours it points at
Pages for what you already have and never mention: coaching, racket hire, leagues and the beginner route
A proper location page, in full copy, to compete with the directories outranking you
Your Google Business Profile: the exact primary category, the description written for you, the attributes and the photo plan
The directory list, with the correct entry for each and a single consistent address string
Your pricing page rewritten so the two different numbers stop contradicting each other
The review system: what your desk says, when they say it, and the replies
Sequenced cheapest and fastest first, each item marked yours, your front desk's or your web person's, with the time it takes

The report is what is wrong and what it costs. The fix list is what to do about it, written so your own people can carry it out without asking me a follow-up question.

One price. No monthly, no retainer, and I do not do the work. Doing it myself would mean logins to your site and your Google account, a support burden, and agency money on the price. At Beaulieu the findings came to £36,192 a year against the fix list's £500, which is about twelve peak court bookings.

You do not have to buy it, and it is never pitched cold. The free report is the whole report.

Who this is for

Ask for it if

You are already trading, with rates published somewhere you control: your own website, or your listing on Playtomic, MATCHi or whatever you book through. Every currency figure in the report is computed from those.
Your peak is full, and you would like to know whether that is demand or scarcity.
There is somebody who can act on a list: you, your front desk, or whoever touches your website.
You are in the UK or Europe.

Do not bother if

You have not published a rate anywhere you control. There is nothing to compute from, and every number in the report comes from those rates.
You want the work done for you. I write out exactly what the work is. I do not log in and do it.
You are looking for reassurance. It is a list of what is wrong, ordered by what it costs you.
You want your courts, your coaching or your standard of play assessed. That is not what any of this measures.

The visit is free, and the score is free

I rank padel clubs on a public board at padel.living and I also sell clubs work, so it is a fair thing to ask.

I do not charge to visit a club and I do not charge to score one. I never have and I never will. Every club on the board was scored before it had heard from me, no club has paid to appear on it, and none can pay to move up it. Doing the work is the only thing that moves a score, and the re-score is free, next time I am in your part of Europe.

Asking for this report does not put your club on the board and does not keep it off. The board is only clubs I have walked into, and this report is produced remotely.

Send me your club

Five questions, one submission. I need the website because most of the report is read from it, and the court count because the capacity arithmetic is computed against it.

The form needs JavaScript. If you have it switched off, email me at richard@richardpatey.com with your club name, your website and how many courts you have, and I will treat it as the same request.

I use the address to send the report and to write to you about it. No list sale, no partner emails, and an unsubscribe link on the bottom of everything I send.
