What is Padel?

Padel is one of the fastest-growing sports in the world — fun, fast-paced, and incredibly easy to pick up. Played on an enclosed court, the walls keep rallies going, so you spend more time playing and less time chasing balls.

Whether you’re brand new or already hooked, padel is the perfect way to get active, have a laugh, and enjoy time on court. Once you try it, you’ll want to come back again and again.

The Rules

Padel is easy to pick up, but understanding a few key rules will help you get the most out of your game from the very first match.

The Basics

Padel is always played in doubles, with two players on each side of the net. The aim is simple — win points by hitting the ball into your opponent’s side of the court in a way they can’t return.

The Serve

• Serves must be underarm and hit at or below waist height
• The ball must bounce once before serving
• You must serve diagonally into your opponent’s service box
• Each player has two serves, just like in tennis
• The serve must land in the service box without hitting the fence first

During a Rally

• The ball can bounce once on your side before you return it
• You can play the ball before or after it hits the glass walls
• The ball must not bounce twice before being returned
• You can use the walls strategically to keep the point alive
• The ball must always land within the court boundaries

Using the Walls

• After the ball bounces on your side, it can hit the glass walls and still be played
• You can also return the ball off your own walls to send it back over the net
• If the ball hits the fence before bouncing, it’s out

Scoring

Padel uses the same scoring system as tennis:

• 15, 30, 40, game
• Matches are typically played as best of 3 sets
• At 40–40 (deuce), you play a deciding point (or advantage, depending on format)

Winning the Point

You win a point if your opponent:

• Fails to return the ball before it bounces twice
• Hits the ball out of the court
• Hits the net Lets the ball bounce and it cannot be returned

Why It’s So Popular

Because of the enclosed court and use of the walls, rallies tend to last longer — meaning more action, more movement, and more fun for everyone on court.

Whether you’re completely new or already competitive, padel is designed to be enjoyable from the very first game.
