Padel is one of the few sports where a complete beginner and an experienced player can share a court and both have a genuinely good time — which is exactly what makes it work so well for corporate team building. No one sits out, no one dominates, and by the second rally most people are laughing more than competing. This guide covers how a corporate padel team building day actually works at Padel & Go in Lloret de Mar, Costa Brava: formats, group sizes, what's included, and how to book one.
Why Padel Works for Corporate Team Building
Padel's court is smaller than tennis, the walls keep the ball in play far longer, and doubles is the only format — so every group naturally splits into mixed pairs and rotates. That combination means:
- No experience needed. Most people are hitting a decent shot within their first 15 minutes. There's no "I'll just watch" option — and no one wants there to be.
- Natural mixing. Doubles format plus court rotation means colleagues who've never spoken end up paired together by lunchtime.
- It reads as an event, not a training session. Music, a mini-tournament format, and a scoreboard turn "company sport activity" into something people actually look forward to.
Formats: From a Half-Day to a Full Trip
We run corporate padel days two ways, depending on what the group needs:
- Day activity, no stay. Your group arrives, plays, and leaves — ideal if you're already in the area or want a single offsite afternoon.
- With accommodation. Built around a 1-day visit or a longer 2+ day stay in Lloret de Mar, combining court time with the rest of the trip — dinners, the beach, the town.
Groups doing the multi-day version get noticeably more out of it — the padel session becomes one part of a proper offsite rather than the whole event, and it's easier to build in a group dinner or party night around it.
Group Sizes
Our Lloret de Mar venue has 6 courts, which comfortably handles groups of up to 24 people playing simultaneously in a structured rotation. Bigger groups aren't a problem — they just run in a different format, with more time slots or staggered sessions, so the whole company can still be involved rather than splitting the day into separate events.
For scale: we run the Padel & Go International Tournament in Lloret de Mar every year (the 2025 and 2026 editions sold out), so a large corporate offsite is well within what we handle. It's a matter of format, not capacity. Recently we hosted a company outing for the Onedirect team, alongside groups like a pre-wedding celebration and a team of police officers from Toulouse.
A Typical Corporate Session
Most groups go for a format of around two and a half hours, which fits neatly into an afternoon:
| Time | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1 hour | Introduction to padel with our coaches, split over one or two courts: grip, serve, the walls, the rules |
| 1.5 hours | Free play or an organised americana where partners rotate and everyone plays each other |
| To finish | Pica pica (Spanish sharing snacks) and drinks together |
We adapt the timing to your group and your schedule. See the full breakdown on our group events page.
What's Included
- Court time on our padel courts in Lloret de Mar
- Coaches to run the session — from a quick technique intro for beginners to organizing the competitive format
- Rackets and balls for everyone, always included in the price, so no one needs their own equipment
- Sessions run in English or Spanish
- A structured group format — mini-tournaments or americanas (round-robin, partners rotate each round), so the whole group plays each other rather than a single knockout leaving people idle
Transfer between your hotel/venue and the courts can be added as an extra if you need it — useful for larger groups or if you're not staying in Lloret de Mar itself.
Make It a Full Experience
The padel session is the anchor, but most corporate groups build a full event around it. Popular add-ons:
- Group dinner — a shared meal after the session, in Lloret de Mar or at your hotel
- Boat party — for groups staying longer or wanting to close the trip on the water rather than at the courts
These are exactly the kind of details that turn "we did a sport activity" into "that was the best offsite we've had" — which is usually the actual goal.
How to Book
Corporate groups typically book 1–2 months ahead, which gives us time to lock in the right number of courts and coaches for your group size and confirm any add-ons (transfer, dinner, boat party). Every group is different in size and format, so we quote each one individually rather than working off a fixed price list — tell us your group size, dates, and what you want included, and we'll put together a proposal.
What shapes the quote: the number of people and courts, whether you want courts only or coaching, free play or organised matches, food and drinks at the end, and whether you need a hotel. Events are paid in advance once you approve the proposal, and large groups can cancel up to 7 days before. If it rains and your group is in Lloret for a few days, we try to reschedule; otherwise we give a partial refund.
