There is not only padel as an alternative practice to tennis. There is also pickleball, which is played on a court similar to that of badminton and with rackets similar to those used in table tennis.
The discipline is enjoying some success and US Poinçonnet felt the blow by organizing the 1is tournament of its kind in the department, a K25 (smaller level), which last Sunday brought together around fifty participants from the clubs of the department (Le Blanc, Le Poinçonnet, Ardentes, Étrechet, Diors, Argenton, Saint-Gaultier, Écueillé, Saint-Maur) and Allier (Désertines).
