What is Padel?
Padel is largely considered the fastest growing sport in the world.
Padel is typically played in a doubles format, on a court that is enclosed and is 25% smaller than a Tennis court. It is incredibly easy to play, very social and can be as active as you want to make it.
Scoring is exactly the same as Tennis and the balls typically have slightly less compression. The entry level is typically much easier than Tennis, therefore it can appeal to people who have never played Tennis or who want to complement their Tennis with another FUN racket sport. It is brilliant for all ages and great for family and friends to play socially.
