Good to know
- Padel is a cross between tennis and squash and is currently one of the fastest-growing sports in Europe. It is played in doubles (four players) on a compact court enclosed by glass and mesh walls.
- Similar to squash, the ball can bounce off the walls, allowing you to keep the rally going after a rebound.
- While the scoring and general rules mirror those of tennis, the serve is underhand. This results in longer, more dynamic rallies that emphasize strategy over raw power.
- Padel is remarkably easy to learn. Thanks to the smaller court size and intuitive technique, no prior experience or coaching is required - simply grab a racket and get started!
