Artós Sports Club

Jan 15 2026 - Have played here for a few years but am done, and why? Shenanigans. Chicanery. Old fashioned p double oh p. In short, despite playing many times a week over all seasons and seeking to "level up," there's a verifiable trap door. Unless you take lessons: you will not. Full stop. I level tested beginning of summer 2025 and was denied ANY movement of rating. Fine. Continued to play regularly, and yes improving, get tested again a few days ago, and then? Am told verbally I ascend a quarter of a point. Cool beans. Only? It doesn't show in the app. No change. Go in to the office today to query further. Lo and behold the rating paper can't be found! Well, I'll be! The rater was to be consulted to verify my recollection. But no. To be sure, this is a pay to play scenario. Hasta nunca. EDIT - no change to original post, and to follow is my response to owner as he also emailed me today (though no one replied to my email in June 2025, very telling imo) Jan 16 2026 - Hi David, While I appreciate your response the reality is this: I walked away Monday under the impression I had achieved 3.5. That's what I was told. What has happened though is without any forewarning, context, or otherwise mention the grander reconsideration took place. And that is wrong. There was no "Hey, you're now a 3.5, but I still have to put it past upper management." This is what is called: changing the agreement. The agreement as I understood it is: I take a test, I get a grade. The agreement you are stating is: I take a test, I get a grade, but the grade has to be further refined due to number of times being tested, etc. Maybe you should contextualize this on your app on the front end or train the raters to also have this conversation. Because it is two different things. Adding insult to injury: I had to ask. No one told me. What sort of exchange of goods and services is it appropriate for the customer to have to follow up with the vendor only to be told you had basically changed your mind? That is wild. And not how customer service works. I stand by my position. How this happened is inappropriate and unprofessional. Good day -

Best place for padel in the center of the city

They made rules that prevent people from enjoying the games unless you take pricey lessons

Among all the padel clubs, Artos is the best. We tried almost 4 padel clubs in Barcelona, and Artos was better than all in timing, price and most importantly, the location.

As a mom of course I have to protect my child from bullying, he was bullied under your club supervision and this affected his confidence and mental health. that's why I took him out of the club immediately! he was under your responsibility when I paid for him to go for the football Camp for 3 days and I trusted you as an official club to take care of all kids and protect them from any harm. it was a shock for me when he came back in tears and so scared to go back because of the bullying. This is again not acceptable and I understand that you are one of the good clubs here in Barcelona and that's why I registered my son in the first place but to leave kids without any supervision to prevent these things from happening special when parents give you full trust to take the kids to a camp for 3 days...Shame on you; the least you could do is an official apology from you to our family and these kids families. I registered my son with Artos Club with the expectation of his participation in a Federal-level football team. To my dismay, the club's representation was found to be misleading. Furthermore, my son's experience within the football team has been nothing short of traumatic, characterized by relentless bullying from the very beginning. In the face of this distressing situation, I took the initiative to voice my concerns to the club's management, anticipating that appropriate actions would be taken to address the misconduct of those responsible for my son's suffering. However, to my profound disappointment, my plea fell on deaf ears, as no punitive measures were undertaken against the individuals who had engaged in this reprehensible behavior. Instead, I was met with a dismissive response, with the management expressing indifference to my grievances and suggesting that I seek an alternative club, offering a callous "Good Luck" in my pursuit. This lamentable experience has brought to light the club's stark prioritization of financial gains over ethical considerations. Regrettably, it has become evident that Artos Club, both in terms of its team members and its management, falls significantly short of the ethical standards one would rightfully expect from such an institution. I am compelled to caution fellow parents, particularly those with well-mannered children, against entrusting their offspring to this organization, where it appears that those with integrity and moral character may find themselves subjected to a hostile environment.
