Built for all

A sport accessible to all ages and racket ball game abilities, padel is noted for its fast-paced, long rallies. Padel is played with a string-less racket, but with the same ball as used in tennis. All serves are underarm, with shots hit from or below waist level. Most commonly played in doubles, the court is usually 10 metres wide and 20 meters long, with a 3-metre-high wall surround. Walls play a part in the game, however, most of the scoring methods, counts and rules are similar to tennis.
