You belong here!
Padel is a fast paced racquet sport that combines elements of tennis and squash. It is the fastest-growing sport in the world.
The game is played over the net in a court surrounded by glass walls, like racquetball or squash, which allows for players to knock the ball off the wall and back over the net.
Padel is not pickleball. The padel ball is closer to a tennis ball. The other main difference is you can play off the walls.
Padel is more dynamic due to the 3D area and nature of the sport. It has the versatility of tennis, intensity of squash, and pace of pickleball.
Basic gameplay and scoring are the same as tennis, but padel adds the ability to hit the ball off of the glass walls surrounding the court - as long as it bounces on the ground, first.
Everyone. It’s a game for all ages and skill levels.
Hailing from Acapulco, Mexico - the sport has been set on a catapult trajectory and you will start hearing much more about it. For one reason or another, March 2019 birthed a spike in new clubs.
