What's padel?
Padel is a racket sport with recognisable elements from tennis and squash. It's a rebound game that is mainly played as doubles on a rectangular court surrounded by U-shaped glass walls. The ball stays in play through contact with the walls. This ensures longer rallies and thus more enjoyment.

Padel is played with a plastic racket and a ball that resembles a tennis ball. Scoring is the same as in tennis.
This mix ensures that padel is very accessible for all ages and great fun due to its social character. The basic techniques are easy to learn for young and old, man or woman, whatever their sporting level. In other words, it's a challenging sport for anyone's skill and physical level. The ideal sport to play with friends, family or colleagues – fun guaranteed!
