How to Get Started with Padel: Your Ultimate Guide
Padel is the fastest-growing sport in the world, blending the best elements of tennis and squash. At Corcuera Padel Club, we're passionate about bringing this sport to life, whether you’re a seasoned pro or just getting started. This guide will take you through the basics, so you can confidently step onto the court.
What is Padel?
Padel is a racket sport played in doubles on an enclosed court, roughly one-third the size of a tennis court. The game is easy to pick up but difficult to master, making it accessible and fun for all ages and skill levels. The walls are in play, adding strategic depth and excitement to every match.
Basic Rules of Padel
- Scoring: Padel is scored just like tennis – 15, 30, 40, and game.
- Serve: Serves are underarm and must land in the opposite service box.
- Walls are in Play: After the ball bounces, it can hit the surrounding glass or mesh and still be in play.
- Double Play: Padel is always played in doubles, promoting teamwork and strategy.
