La Casa del Padel sprung from a shared desire to bring padel and its culture to KC, and it started in the locker room. Six professional soccer players formed an unbreakable bond while playing for Sporting KC. Finding connection through competition and becoming fans of the rising racquet sport; padel offered new ways to compete and unplug off the field. 

First teammates—now business partners: Roger Espinoza, Andreu Fontas, Uri Rosell, Johnny Russell, Daniel Salloi and Graham Zusi joined forces with engineer Jamie Mahoney to launch La Casa del Padel.
