Padel
Padel is a form of tennis that is easy to play, fun and extremely sociable. It is played mainly in a doubles format on an enclosed court about a third of the size of a tennis court and can be played in groups of mixed ages and abilities, as it is not power dominant. The rules are broadly the same as tennis, although you serve underhand and the walls are used as part of the game with the ball allowed to bounce off them.
​
One of the fastest growing sports across continental Europe, padel has gained increasing popularity over recent years, with over six million people currently playing in Spain.
Padel offers plenty of ways to get involved, whether you’re interested in competing, volunteering, or supporting the sport behind the scenes. From helping at events and competitions to supporting clubs, venues and local padel communities, there are opportunities to suit a wide range of interests and experience levels.
