About GoPadelZone

GoPadelZone publishes plain-English padel guides for people in the US who are new to the sport.

Who we are

GoPadelZone is a small, independent publication. Articles carry the byline "GoPadelZone editorial team" because each one passes through several hands: research, writing, an SEO and structure review, photo selection, a copy edit and a final editorial review before it is published. Our writers, editors and research tools, including AI-assisted drafting and research, work under human editorial oversight.

We are not a federation, a tour, a club or a retailer, and we are not affiliated with the International Padel Federation (FIP), USA Padel (formerly USPA), Premier Padel or any brand mentioned on the site.

What we do not claim

We do not write first-hand play reports, venue reviews or hands-on gear tests unless an article clearly says that one happened. Our buying guides are built from published specs, federation and coaching guidance, and prices we checked on the date shown. Our where-to-play guides list facts from the clubs' own pages; we have not visited or played at them.

How we research and fact-check

  • Primary sources first. Rules and court measurements come from the FIP Rules of Padel and the USA Padel rules and handbook. Tour dates and broadcast details come from Premier Padel and the broadcasters' own sites.
  • We link what we cite. Facts are linked to the page we opened. When official pages disagree, we say so rather than pick one silently.
  • No invented numbers. We do not publish statistics, prices or player counts we could not find on a source page. If something could not be verified, it is left out.
  • Dated checks. Prices, promotions, opening status and broadcast schedules change, so we show the date we checked them and revisit time-sensitive guides.
  • Copy edit and review. Each article is checked against a review checklist for accuracy, sourcing, clarity and house style before it goes live.

Corrections

If you find an error, email hello@gopadelzone.com with the page and the source that shows the right information. We correct factual errors promptly and update the page date when the change is material.
