What is USA Padel?
USA Padel — known for three decades as the United States Padel Association (USPA) before its 2026 renaming — is the national governing body of padel in the United States, the FIP's recognized member federation and part of Padel Americas.[1] [2]
What does USA Padel govern?
The U.S. national teams — which have competed internationally since 1993 — plus national championships, sanctioned rankings, coach development and the certification of American padel's fast-multiplying clubs and courts, with South Florida the sport's domestic heartland.[1] [3]
Why does USA Padel matter?
It is the American link in padel's official chain: FIP recognition flows through it, U.S. national-team selection is its call, and its sanction marks the country's official competitions as the sport booms stateside.[1] [2]
