Chandigarh, 05th April, 2025 – The Good Club,
a vibrant community hub renowned for fostering social connection and active
lifestyles, has done its first ever live player auction at 6, Vishnu Gdn Rd,
behind Rock Garden, Kaimbwala, Kansal, Chandigarh 160001. The GCPL teams for
the live auction were Smash Bucklers, Santa Banta Smashers, Ninja Steel
Warriors, Raging Racketeers, Sunbrave Strikers & Net Ninjas.
The GCPL is not just a league; it’s a
movement. Built on the foundation of camaraderie, healthy competition, and
lifestyle elevation, the GCPL is a way of redefining what community sport looks
and feels like. It brings together spirited individuals, families, and
businesses, all under one common goal: to play hard, connect deeper, and grow
together.
Padel, a dynamic and inclusive sport, has
captured the hearts of people across all age groups. Its unique doubles format
promotes teamwork, communication, and social interaction, making it an ideal
activity for bonding with friends, family, and new acquaintances. This inherent
camaraderie perfectly aligns with The Good Club’s vision of creating a space
where everyone feels welcome and connected.
The Good Club has rapidly become a popular
destination, attracting over 200 visitors daily. It offers a diverse range of
activities, from fitness and social gatherings to relaxation in its café,
ensuring there’s something for everyone. This welcoming atmosphere has
solidified its position as a beloved community hangout.
Building on this success, The Good Club has
launched the GCPL, a competitive league designed to unite regular club players
with top-tier talent from across India. The league aims to provide a platform
for players of all skill levels to compete, grow, and contribute to the sport’s
burgeoning popularity.
On the occasion, Good club and GCPL founders Aashna A Mehra
and Pranav Mehra said, "GCPL is excited to host first-ever live player
auction. With the vision to create a space where everyone feels welcomed, The Good
Club padel league is an extension of the same. This league provides an
incredible opportunity for players of all skill levels to compete, grow, and
contribute to the expansion of this dynamic sport."
The GCPL has witnessed an overwhelming
response from Team Buyers, culminating in a Live Auction where the top six
bidders secured their teams. This excitement continued with the highly
anticipated Live Player Auction, which occurred on the 5th of April. Top Indian
Players like Shashank Narde, Famas, Manav k Sreekumar were sold at record
prices. Nearly 100 registered players were available for bidding, allowing
teams to strategically build their squads for the upcoming matches.
The GCPL represents The Good Club’s commitment
to fostering a vibrant and inclusive community through the power of sport. By
bringing together players of all levels, the league aims to elevate the profile
of padel in India and create a lasting legacy for the sport.
About The Good Club:
The Good Club is apremier community hub
dedicated to fostering social connection and active lifestyles. With a diverse
range of offerings, including padel courts, Pilates studio, a kids playscape
and a vibrant café, The Good Club provides a welcoming space for individuals of
all ages to connect, engage, and thrive. According to its founders Pranav Mehra
and Aashna A Mehra “This entire idea sparked from something quite unplanned —
not your typical vacation story. While traveling, we found ourselves visiting sports
clubs and communities, and it hit us — we wanted to bring a similar concept to
Chandigarh. A place where everyone, from kids to grown-ups, could come together
and have an experience. Somewhere you can spend your mornings, your evenings,
your Sundays — have a good laugh, break a sweat, and build a little community
of your own. Good Club is not just a court — It’s a community. A space where
people could come after work, unwind, play, and soak in the energy.”
