What is padel?

Padel is a fun, fast-paced racket sport blending tennis and squash. Played in doubles on a smaller court with walls, it uses solid, stringless rackets and tennis-style scoring.

What sets this sport apart is its focus on strategy and teamwork over power. Easy to learn and social, it’s perfect for all ages and skill levels, making it one of the fastest-growing sports worldwide.
