Nine months ago, Pedro Bautista opened SLC Padel Club in Salt Lake City, a market where almost nobody knew the sport existed. Today, he’s packing a portable net into his car, running demos at local school recesses, and handing out padel balls to every student he meets. Pedro’s grassroots hustle is a masterclass in community building: by working with local schools, speaking at assemblies, and engaging the Chamber of Commerce, he has turned Utah schoolchildren into the sport’s biggest ambassadors. His blueprint proves that growing a junior program doesn’t require a massive marketing budget, it just takes time, presence, and the willingness to get a racket into a child’s hand.
