WHAT IS PADEL?
Padel is the combination of squash and tennis that is ideally played in teams of two. The game is played with Padel rackets that have a short handle in comparison with tennis rackets.
The game starts with a serve from one player who has to stand with both of his feet outside the line. As per Padel rules, the ball should hit anywhere inside the diagonal box first. After bouncing on the floor, within the box, it can hit the glass but can not hit the fence as it is a foul.
One important rule is that the ball must hit the floor first before it goes toward the players or touches the glass wall. In Padel, you can also hit the ball on your own side of the glass but not on the fence.

THE PADEL COURT
Get a full court just for your friends and family and play for as long as you want without anyone interrupting you.
A Padel court is 20 meters long and 10 meters wide with the back walls being made of glass up to a height of 3 meters, whereas the glas side walls end after 4 meters. The walls can be made of glass or another solid, even material like concrete. The rest of the court is closed using a metallic mesh to a height of 4 meters.
At the middle of the playing field there is a net dividing the court in two. It has a maximum height of 88 cm in the center, raising to 92 cm at both sides. These fields are than divided in the middle by a line and another line three meters from the back wall marks the service area.
PADEL RACKET & BALL
The game is quick and easy to learn, making it a fun and addictive sport to play. Using a short, stringless padel racket with an elastic surface with holes and a low compression tennis ball, the service is made underarm.
Shots are played either before or after the ball bounces off the surrounding glass walls, adding a unique dimension to the sport over conventional tennis.
The scoring and rules are very similar to Tennis, with the biggest difference being that the serve in Padel is underarm and that balls can be played off the glass walls in a similar way as in Squash. The rules allow for the use of the back and sidewalls, which results in longer rallies than in a conventional tennis match.
Points are won rather by strategy than by strength and power.
