ISACCO AROYO

Born and raised in Milan, Isacco has always lived at the crossroads of sport and entrepreneurship. His journey has taken him through tennis courts, squash courts, and ultimately padel: the discipline in which he has found his truest expression. A natural polyglot, he speaks several languages, and among them, sport is certainly one of the most instinctive.

Within Milan’s padel community, he is one of the most recognized and respected figures, known for his expertise, his openness, and his ability to provide real, practical guidance to anyone looking to approach or grow within the sport. At Padel Zenter Scalo Farini, he is a true point of reference: he embodies the spirit of padel and helps every player find their ideal path: from the right coaches to the right courses, from partners to opponents. One of the defining faces of our center.

FRANCESCO CASTAGNINO

My name is Francesco Castagnino and I am a FITP level 2 instructor, currently engaged in the course to become a National Padel Master – 2025 edition.
Since 2021, padel has become much more than a passion: it's my profession, my daily routine, and the medium I use to promote well-being, personal growth, and sports culture.

Throughout my career, I've had the opportunity to train and study at two prestigious Spanish academies: the Gustavo Pratto Academy and the CEPAC Academy. This experience has allowed me to experience a highly professional and advanced padel culture, enriching my technical and methodological vision.

I play and teach with a smile – but not as a joke.
I believe in a sport that makes you feel good, that stimulates you, that balances body and mind, and that can truly engage you, at every level.

As a player, I reached a career-high ranking of #120 in the second tier of the national rankings, an achievement I am proud of and which motivates me to grow every day, on and off the pitch.
