What is Padel?
Padel is Europe’s fastest-growing sport. It is a mix between tennis and squash and is easy to play. It comprises mainly a doubles format on an enclosed court about 25% smaller than a tennis court and can be played in groups of mixed ages and abilities.
The rules are broadly the same as tennis, although you serve underarm, and the walls are used as part of the game, with the ball allowed to bounce off them. Bats are very different from ordinary tennis rackets, stringless, much thicker and shorter and with holes.
The game is less dominated by strength, technique and serves as it is in tennis and is therefore ideal for men, women and youth to compete together. The skill is in your match-craft, as points are won by strategy rather than sheer strength and power.
