WHAT IS PADEL?
A High-Stakes Hybrid
Born in Mexico, padel is a dynamic blend of tennis and squash. Played primarily as doubles, it demands not just power but precision and strategy.
THE BASICS
Padel offers a unique blend of easy-to-learn basics and a high skill ceiling.
This rapidy growing sport is attracting players of all abilities, fostering a passionate community along the way.
THE COURT
The combination of doubles play and compact courts in padel fosters a highly social atmosphere.
RACKETS & BALLS
The rackets are slightly smaller than tennis rackets, featuring carbon fiber frames and a solid yet perforated carbon fiber face. The balls are also slightly softer than tennis balls, resulting in less pressure.
THE PLAYERS
Thanks to its simplicity, both experts and beginners can enjoy playing padel together and have a great time right from their first game.
THE RULES
The server underhand serves from behind the service line, targeting the opposing service box.
Players can return the ball either directly or after one bounce off their wall.
A player can bounce the ball off their own wall, as long as it lands in the opponent's court.
