M3 Padel Academy brings structured training to Brisas East Hampton this summer

The real question at Brisas East Hampton is not whether padel has arrived, but who gets to play it. M3 Padel Academy said it will lead the club’s training program this summer, and the setup immediately sharpens Brisas’ identity from a luxury hangout into something closer to a true player-development stop on the East End. Public access is capped at six visits per season, bookings must be made 48 hours in advance, and members get priority access across the club’s amenities.

That matters because M3 is not pitching casual hit-arounds. The academy said the Brisas program will bring structured sessions, performance monitoring, and technical-tactical development to a setting Brisas itself describes as East Hampton’s first padel sanctuary. The club’s East Hampton location at 174 Daniels Hole Road is open from May through September, and the new training layer suggests the site is aiming at seasonal families, serious juniors, and recognizable names who want more than a social-club court reservation.

The scale of the project is moving, too. M3 said the Brisas buildout will continue this summer with an expansion that doubles the number of courts. Brisas’ current site page lists three outdoor padel courts in East Hampton, while other current materials describe six courts, a discrepancy that points to a staged expansion or inconsistent marketing copy. Either way, the club is clearly building beyond its initial footprint. Brisas also said the brand opened in 2024 and has since added a second location at CityView Racquet Club in New York City.

That growth is landing in a hotter national market. On April 13, 2026, the United States Padel Association said padel had crossed one million players in the United States, citing the 2026 SFIA Topline Participation Report. In the Hamptons, that number gives fresh context to a scene that has already been inching toward legitimacy. The East Hampton Star reported in December 2023 that Rohan Kamdar and Lucho Gazcon would manage padel play at the East Hampton Indoor/Outdoor Club, and Modern Luxury later described Brisas as a three-court operation with 4,000 square feet of outdoor lounge space.

Brisas also leans on Acapulco’s padel heritage in its branding, which helps explain the club’s mix of wellness, social space, café culture, and artisanal retail. With M3 now attached to the training side, Brisas is making a sharper play: not just to host padel in East Hampton, but to become one of the places where the summer game gets coached, measured, and taken seriously.
