WHAT IS PADEL?

THE NEXT BIG THING

Invented in Mexico in the late 1960s, padel is a

racket and ball game that combines the tennis scoring system with the tactical ricochet shots of squash. Mostly played in doubles, the gameplay is about more than just strength, it’s highly strategic.

THE COURT

Being played in doubles and using smaller courts than tennis means padel is very social.

RACKETS & BALLS

The rackets are slightly smaller than a tennis racket with carbon fiber frames and a solid but perforated carbon fiber face, and the balls are slightly softer than tennis balls creating less pressure.

THE RULES

Frame-11.png

Players serve underhand from behind the service line, aiming to land in the opposing service box.

Frame-12.png

Players can either hit the ball directly, or allow it to bounce off their wall before returning.

Frame-13.png

Players can play the ball off their own wall, as long as it lands on the opponents side.

Frame-14.png

Points are scored if the ball bounces twice, or if it hits the wall before the ground. Scoring is the same as tennis.
