We are delighted to welcome Edel Clarke, Co-Founder of Druid Padel, to the Ireland Active Conference 2025.
Edel is at the forefront of padel’s growth in Ireland, driving both court installations and the rollout of premium clubs nationwide. A former professional tennis coach with a deep technical background and sharp commercial vision, she now works with the Rafa Nadal Academy’s commercial team, connecting Irish padel with international best practice.
Her session, “Business of Padel,” will explore how this fast-growing sport can create new opportunities for clubs and operators, from boosting membership engagement to diversifying revenue streams. Edel will share proven strategies, flexible business models, and real-world insights drawn from successful projects like SPORTSCO Dublin 4, where padel has become a powerful driver of community and commercial success.
Through sustainable growth, strategic partnerships, and a community-first approach, Edel continues to shape the future of padel in Ireland.
