What is Padel Tennis?
Padel tennis is a racket sport played on a smaller court enclosed by glass walls and metal mesh. It’s typically played in doubles, making it a highly social activity. The rules are similar to tennis, but the walls are in play, adding a unique twist to the game.
Why is Padel Tennis So Popular?
Easy to Learn: The smaller court and underhand serve make it beginner-friendly.
Social and Fun: Played in doubles, it’s a great way to connect with friends and family.
Great Exercise: It’s a fantastic way to stay active while having fun.
All Ages Welcome: Whether you’re 8 or 80, padel tennis is accessible to everyone.
How to Play Padel Tennis: The Basics
The Court: A padel court is about a third of the size of a tennis court, with walls on all sides.
The Equipment: Use a solid padel racket (no strings) and a low-compression tennis ball.
The Serve: Serve underhand, and the ball must bounce in the opposite service box.
The Play: After the serve, the ball can bounce once on the ground or hit the walls, adding strategy to the game.
Tips for Beginners
Start Slow: Focus on getting used to the racket and ball before worrying about technique.
Use the Walls: Don’t be afraid to let the ball bounce off the walls—it’s part of the game!
Have Fun: Padel tennis is about enjoying yourself, so don’t stress too much about the rules.
