what is padel ?

Padel is one of the fastest-growing sports in the world and for good reason.

“ First time playing padel this morning and safe to say I get the hype. I LOVED IT. ”

    WHAT ?

    Padel is fast, fun, and addictive. Think of it as tennis meets squash, played on an enclosed court about a third the size of a tennis court. Every game is doubles, every point is action-packed, and the walls are part of the fun — creating longer rallies, clever angles, and non-stop excitement.

    With solid rackets, slightly softer balls, and simple rules, padel is easy to pick up whether you’ve never held a racket before or you’re already a tennis pro. It’s social, energetic, and designed to be inclusive, making it perfect for anyone looking for a new way to get moving and have a blast on the court.

It’s a sport loved by celebrities too, with stars like David Beckham, Andy Murray and Lionel Messi to Serena Williams, Cristiano Ronaldo and even the Kardashians. It’s the sport everyone’s talking about, and now it’s right here, ready for you to play.

  • HOW?

    Padel was born in Mexico in the 1960s when Enrique Corcuera created a game that blended skill, strategy, and social fun. From those first private garden courts, it quickly spread to Spain and beyond, capturing the hearts of players looking for something fast, exciting, and inclusive.
