April 25, 2024
Delhi, N.Y. (April 24, 2024) — Sportsfield Specialties, the first and only North American padel court manufacturer, is excited to announce an exclusive Padel Court Sales Consultant Partnership with Marcos del Pilar.
Del Pilar, known by many as the “Godfather of American Padel,” has been a leading voice and advocate for the sport of padel in the North America since 2017. He’s a former president of the U.S. Padel Association (USPA), is co-founder of the Pro Padel League (PPL) as well as the current commissioner, and was recently named one of the America’s Top 20 Padel Influencers by The Padel State.
Del Pilar also is one of the very few U.S. Professional Tennis Association (USPTA) Master Professionals in the world and was awarded “Professional of the Year” in 2022. He is an advisor for some of the world’s most exclusive investment groups in the sports industry and he has a very special talent to get people inspired around him with his beginner’s mentality, disruption, creativity, and evolved business vision.
At a presentation at the RacquetX Conference in Miami in March, he succinctly summed up the state of the sport in this country: “The U.S. is not a promise anymore. Padel is here. It has arrived!”
In cultivating their relationship, both Sportsfield Specialties and del Pilar realized that they shared a similar vision of the future of padel in North America and that creating a partnership between them to encourage the growth of the sport by providing the best possible design and construction of the padel courts installed would greatly contribute to the overall success of the sport for years to come. Sportsfield Specialties is aligned with his vision of growing the padel community through an army of ambassadors and will be supporting and promoting his Padel Certification Courses throughout North America.
Sportsfield Specialties (www.sportsfield.com) was recently featured in the April 2024 issue of Racquet Sports Industry Magazine, which highlighted the company’s entry into the padel court market, as well as what has contributed to their success over the last several years in the athletic equipment construction industry.
Del Pilar noted that, “After visiting Sportsfield Specialties and experiencing firsthand the industry-leading quality of their athletic equipment and extensive engineering/manufacturing capabilities, as well as their dedication to continuing the successful growth of padel in North America, they were an obvious choice to partner with.”
David Moxley, Director of Sports Construction Sales for Sportsfield Specialties, states, “When I first met Marcos in person, I was immediately struck by his drive, energy, and passion for increasing the exposure of and accelerating the growth of padel in North America. We shared the common goals of providing high quality venues to play padel and educating the public to the existence of such an exciting racquet sport, so it made for a natural fit right from the start.”
