History of Netsetters

Welcome to Netsetters, the heart of the burgeoning Padel community in the United States. Born from a passion for racquet sports and a vision for the future, we are on a mission to bring Padel, one of the world's fastest-growing sports, to every corner of the nation.

Founded in the vibrant city of New Orleans, Louisiana—a place yet to experience the joy of Padel courts—our journey began. Seth Bloom, a lifelong enthusiast of tennis, racquetball, squash, Padel, and pickleball, dreamt of creating a platform where the Padel community could thrive. From this dream, Netsetters was born.

Our mission is simple: to spread awareness and ignite passion for Padel across the United States. We are dedicated to promoting the sport through education, news, updates, and a growing community of Padel lovers. Whether you are new to the game or a seasoned player, Netsetters is your go-to source for all things Padel.

Leading the charge alongside Seth is Ford Clark, our Vice President of Community. With his proven business acumen and dedication to the sport, Ford plays a pivotal role in advancing both our business and the game of Padel. Together, they form a dynamic duo committed to making Padel accessible to everyone.

Join us in our exciting journey to elevate Padel to new heights in the United States. With your support, we can transform this dream into reality. Welcome to the Netsetters family.

Thinking about trying Padel?

  • Embarking on your padel journey is akin to stepping into a realm where elegance and strategy harmoniously intertwine. Begin by selecting a racket that mirrors your style—opting for lightweight ease as a novice—and dress in attire that combines comfort with chic sophistication. Acquaint yourself with the unique rules and charm of padel, perhaps considering lessons to refine your technique, including mastering serves, volleys, and strategic shot placement. Immerse yourself in the padel community by joining local clubs or courts, enriching your experience through social interactions and regular practice. Dedicate time to hone your skills, embracing each session as a chance to enhance your technique and confidence on the court, ensuring your padel journey is as refined as it is exhilarating.

  • Embarking on your padel journey requires a touch of elegance in your equipment selection, ensuring both style and functionality. At the core, a lightweight racket tailored for beginners offers ease and precision, pairing beautifully with attire that blends comfort with a dash of chic—think breathable, sleek sportswear that allows you to move freely while maintaining an air of sophistication on the court. Additionally, comfortable shoes designed for agility ensure that you navigate the court with grace. With these essentials, you’re well-equipped to step into the padel scene with confidence and flair.

  • Padel is a sport celebrated for its inclusivity, offering a polished yet inviting experience to enthusiasts across the spectrum of age. From young novices taking their first swing to seasoned players mastering the court, padel graciously welcomes all. There are no strict age barriers to participate, making it a splendid choice for families, friends, and individuals seeking a blend of leisure and physical activity.
