RPP Padel Week Miami: The Sport That's Coming for Tennis

Padel is the fastest-growing sport in the world, and Miami is where it is going to break through in the United States. RPP Padel Week Miami is the event that makes that case — a full week of competition, coaching certification, and community programming that treats padel not as a novelty but as a serious sport with a serious future in South Florida.

The Junior Cup is the week's opening statement. Youth padel in Miami has been growing quietly for the past three years, and the Junior Cup is the first major showcase for the next generation of South Florida players. The competition draws juniors from across the region and gives the week its most important context: this is not a sport for the moment. It is a sport being built for the long term, and the kids playing in the Junior Cup are the proof.

RPP Padel Week includes a three-level coaching certification program — the first of its kind in South Florida. The certification tracks cover foundational technique, advanced tactics, and high-performance coaching methodology. For tennis coaches looking to expand their practice, for fitness professionals who want to add padel to their offerings, and for the growing community of padel enthusiasts who want to teach the sport they love, the certification program is the most practically significant element of the week.

The Industry Pros Cup is padel's version of the celebrity golf tournament — a competition that brings together business leaders, athletes, and cultural figures from across Miami's professional community. The format is accessible enough for beginners and competitive enough for experienced players, and the social dimension of the event is as important as the competition. Padel is a sport that builds community, and the Industry Pros Cup is designed to demonstrate that in real time.

The week closes with an Awards Ceremony that recognizes the week's competitors, the certification graduates, and the community figures who have been building padel in South Florida. It is the kind of event that marks a moment — the point at which a sport stops being something people are discovering and starts being something people are building.

Padel is already the second most popular sport in Spain and Argentina. It is the fastest-growing sport in Europe. In Miami — a city with deep Latin American cultural ties, a warm climate, and a population that has been playing the sport for years — the conditions for padel's American breakthrough are already in place. RPP Padel Week Miami is the inflection point.

RPP Padel Week Miami runs November 10–16, 2026. For competition registration, coaching certification enrollment, and Industry Pros Cup information, visit rpppadel.com.
