Padel is a fast, social racket sport that combines elements of tennis and squash. It’s usually played as doubles, making it easy to pick up and great fun with friends, family or colleagues. You don’t need to be an experienced racket-sport player to enjoy it — beginners can get involved quickly, while more experienced players still have plenty to master. It’s active, competitive, sociable and seriously addictive. The Court A padel court is 20m x 10m and surrounded by glass and mesh walls. Like tennis, the aim is to hit the ball over the net into your opponent’s side of the court. The difference is that the walls are part of the game, so once the ball has bounced, it can be played off the glass — a bit like squash. That’s what makes padel so different, and so much fun. How the Game Works Scoring is similar to tennis, with points played at 15, 30, 40 and game, usually over the best of three sets. Serves are underarm and must bounce before being hit. During a rally, the ball can bounce once before being returned, and the glass walls can be used to keep the point alive. You win the point when your opponents can’t return the ball legally before it bounces twice.
