So, what is Padel?

Padel is a sport that is very easy to get involved in, you just pick up a racquet and start playing. It is fast, fun and easy to learn.

It is typically played as doubles on an enclosed court a third the size of a tennis court. Padel tennis scoring is the same as normal tennis and the game is played with tennis balls, but they are slightly less pressurised, and the net is slightly lower than in tennis. The main differences are that the court is partly enclosed by walls and the balls can be played off them in a similar way as in squash and solid stringless racquets (paddles) are used.

 

Who can play?

Padel tennis is not too demanding, technically nor is it dominated by strength and serve as in tennis, in fact the serve is under-arm. It is team sport played as doubles and is a very social game for all ages and abilities. Padel is a cross-generational game, that allows seniors to play with the whole family while enjoying a good workout.

The rules are simple and most players get the grasp of the game within the first 20 minutes of playing. It is excellent for fitness as players easily and quickly reach a level of proficiency where they can achieve sustained and fast-paced rally.
