About Padel
Padel is a fast-growing racket sport that combines elements of tennis and squash. It is typically played in doubles on an enclosed court surrounded by glass walls. The unique feature of padel is that the ball can bounce off the walls during play, creating longer rallies and exciting angles.
Padel is easy to learn, highly social, and suitable for all fitness levels. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced player, the game is fun, competitive, and incredibly engaging from the very first match
Rules:
Every point begins with an underhand serve. The server must bounce the ball once and hit it diagonally into the opponent’s service box. The serve must be hit below waist height.
After the serve, players rally by hitting the ball over the net into the opponent’s side. The ball must bounce once on the ground before touching the back or side glass walls. Players can use the walls strategically after the ball has bounced on their side of the court.
The ball may not bounce twice on the ground before being returned. If a player hits the ball into the net, out of the court, or fails to return it properly, the opposing team wins the point.
Padel is usually played in doubles, and teammates work together to control positioning and defend using the walls.
Scoring & Winning
Padel uses the same scoring system as tennis:
15 → 30 → 40 → Game
If both teams reach 40, it is called Deuce. A team must win two consecutive points from Deuce to win the game.
To win a set, a team must win 6 games with at least a 2-game lead (for example, 6–4).
Matches are typically played as best of 3 sets, meaning the first team to win 2 sets wins the match.
