What You Learn in a Beginner Padel Course Basic Groundstrokes: You practice flat, compact forehands and backhands with low backswings and controlled power rather than hard topspin. The Rules & Scoring: You learn that padel is played in doubles on an enclosed court using a shorter racket and a low-bounce ball, with scoring similar to tennis. Court Positioning: You learn basic doubles movement, such as how and when to move up to the net together with your partner Using the Glass: Coaches show you how to let the ball bounce off the back and side glass walls so you can return shots smoothly instead of panicking.
