Founded by a group of friends and racquet sport lovers, The PAD is putting padel on the map in Sarasota. It's a place for padel enthusiasts to connect, forge lasting friendships, and celebrate their love for the sport.

Today, The Pad uses Clutch as a core part of the player experience, helping introduce padel to a new market and build momentum around Florida’s fastest growing sport. Players simply scan a QR code to start recording, and the AI takes care of the rest.

By the time they walk off court, players already have:

• Full performance analysis

• AI-generated highlights

• One-click sharing to Instagram

New players feel like professionals, regulars track their progress, and everyone leaves with something shareable.

“Clutch has become part of the Pad Experience of playing here, our players love the simplicity of scanning the QR code and walking off court to watch their AI highlights and review their performance analysis” - Ellie Berdusco, General Manager

Clutch isn’t just improving the on-court experience, it’s transforming the off-court atmosphere too.

With Clutch TV, The Pad streams the best moments on court directly onto screens in their social area. It’s turned the club into a place where players want to hang out after their matches. People stay for drinks and food, watch each other’s highlights, and connect in a way that strengthens the identity of the club.

The Pad Sarasota is doing more than running a club - they’re building a local padel culture. And we’re proud that Clutch has become part of the foundation that supports this mission.

From powering unforgettable moments on court to creating a community feel off court, Clutch is helping The Pad introduce the sport to new audiences and grow it in a way that feels authentic, modern, and exciting.

Together, we're helping put padel on the map in Sarasota.
