About us

Sports shouldn’t depend on a membership, the weather, or your skill level. That is why we build clubs where you can just walk in, play, and hang around.

Our story: how it began

The very first Arenal club opened with one single idea: accessible sports for everyone. No membership, no waiting list, no annual contract. You book, you play, you only pay for what you use. That idea caught on.

What started with a single location grew into a network of clubs across Belgium and the Netherlands, where padel was joined by trampoline parks, tennis, soccer5, climbing walls, and indoor playgrounds.

Our growth, from 1 to 14 clubs

2015

The first club

Arenal opens in Brugge. One club, one idea: walk in, play, hang around.

Mechelen

The second club opens its doors. The concept proves not to be bound to just one city.

Waregem

Club number three. Padel is growing in Flanders, and Arenal is growing right along with it.

From four to eight, and across the border

Grimbergen opens in May. One month later, investor Alychlo jumps on board, and Arenal doubles in size in one single move: four clubs are added, including the first Dutch locations in Kerkrade and Hoogerheide.

Own App, own Academy

Lommel, Roeselare, and Bree open. On July 1st, the Arenal App goes live: booking, paying, and playing via a single app for every club. In September, the first courses of the Arenal Academy kick off.

Our values

Inclusive

Everyone is welcome. Nobody needs to be "sporty enough" just to walk through the door.

Fun competitive

Ambition is great. Keeping score, tournaments, interclub: we love it all. But competition never ruins the fun.

Innovative

Smarter and easier, always for the benefit of the player or the club. From booking in just three clicks to courts that play better.

Generous

Offering more than just a court. Welcoming, helping, and surprising you. From your very first time to your hundredth visit.
