Padel

What is padel?

Padel is a dynamic racket sport that combines elements of tennis and squash. The sport is fast, social and easy to learn.
Most players master the basics within half an hour and can start playing matches straight away. This makes padel popular with players of all ages and skill levels.

What makes padel so fun?

Padel is less about pure power than tennis. Tactics, positioning and teamwork play a much bigger role.
Because the ball may be played off the glass walls, rallies are longer and points are more unpredictable. This makes padel accessible, yet challenging.

Padel is ideal for:

• Men and women playing together
• Young and adult players
• Recreational and competitive players

It’s no surprise that padel has grown rapidly in recent years.

The padel court explained

Padel is usually played in doubles on an enclosed court.
The court is about one third the size of a tennis court and is surrounded by glass walls and metal fencing.

• Underhand serve
• Glass walls may be used after the serve
• Played both indoors and outdoors

This allows you to play outside in summer and comfortably indoors during winter.

How does scoring work in padel?

The scoring system is very similar to tennis.
The main differences are in the gameplay:

• Underhand serve
• Back and side walls may be used
• The ball may bounce once before being returned

You score a point when:

• The ball bounces twice
• The ball goes out of play
• Your opponent hits the net

This results in longer rallies and more exciting exchanges.
