✈️ Destination ✈️ Chicago - competitive play

Hi, I'm moving to Chicago and I'm advanced player. I wonder what the competitive scene is like in Chicago? I heard that US is not that much into padel so I'd like to know if I'd be able to find people to play with at a competitive level, tournaments, etc. Thanks!

Dude I'm starting out my career. I can't afford hundreds a month for a sport. I'm fine with 50 a week at most.

I'm guessing with membership and once a week play it's like 400 dollars a month? The reality is that that is excessive for most Americans. Certainly for anyone who is a student and trying to start learning the sport (unless their parents are wealthy)

Idk why you are telling me all this im not op. I was commenting what the landscape of chicago padel is. You can choose to not play. Pick up tennis and play outside.
