Where does padel come from?
Padel was born in Mexico in the late 60s. This fun, friendly sport soon spread to Spain and Argentina, and then to all the Spanish-speaking countries of South America. Today, Padel is the second most popular sport in Spain, behind soccer but ahead of tennis! And there are now 8 million players worldwide.
What are the rules of padel?
The game is played 2 against 2 (doubles). The serve is diagonally spooned and there are 2 balls allowed. One rebound is allowed. The ball must bounce before hitting any part of the court. A ball may be struck against a wall after the rebound (against a wall only, not against the fence). The ball may leave the court after the rebound and may be caught outside the court. Points are scored in the same way as in tennis.
How do I get started playing padel?
For a good start, a good tip is to use balls designed for beginners. They're softer and slower, making it easier to master trajectories. Appropriate footwear prevents slipping on padel courts, which are often made of synthetic turf with sand.
Finally, taking lessons saves time and, above all, avoids copying gestures that can be taken from tennis or squash, for example.
