BamVolea is born as the new brand that brings together the 14 padel and tennis clubs that until now operated under Olympia Sports, becoming the largest padel operator in the world by number of courts.
With more than 250 courts spread across six provinces — Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao, Valencia, León, and Marbella — BamVolea offers a model that goes beyond sport: clubs designed as spaces for meeting, community, and leisure, where the match is just the beginning of the experience.
“We wanted to create clubs with life beyond the match, places you always want to come back to,” explains Diego Rivas, CEO of BamVolea. “All our centers will share the same vision and way of doing things, while maintaining their own personality, like a family.”
The group’s growth has been steady since its inception in 2022, going from a single club with 14 courts to the current 14 clubs and more than 250 courts, with an expansion plan aiming to reach nearly 30 clubs in the coming years.
A model based on three pillars: clubs, academy, and community
BamVolea is built on three fundamental pillars. The first, the clubs, with state-of-the-art facilities, carefully curated hospitality, specialized shops, and centralized management that guarantees the same experience in any city. The second pillar is the academy, which has more than 5,500 padel and tennis students and over a hundred instructors following a common methodology.
In the realm of high-level competition, it has created the BamVolea Paquito Navarro Academy, led by Paquito Navarro alongside his coach Ramiro Choya, and hosts the ESS Feliciano López Academy, driven by Feliciano López, from its headquarters at Ciudad de la Raqueta.
The third pillar, and the most distinctive, is the community. BamVolea has a community of more than 400,000 users, with an offering that integrates sport, leisure, wellness, and social life: from corporate events to celebrations, live music, or a music festival.
A grand unveiling that sums up the BamVolea spirit
The new brand was presented today in Madrid with a day that reflects its DNA: a Pro-Am tournament, an exhibition match featuring some of the best players in the world (including Paquito Navarro), a tennis clinic from the ESS Feliciano López Academy, and a cocktail with live music performed by Hermanos Martínez.
BamVolea is born with a clear purpose: to show that the game doesn’t have to end when the match is over and that a sports club can be a place where relationships, experiences, and community are built.
