The basic rules of play
Think tennis meets squash. The lines on the court only affect scoring on the initial serve. Afterwards, two bounces anywhere on your side of the net means a point for your opponent.
Other than that, the scoring is identical to tennis. Use the walls on your side of court to your advantage by returning balls off the side or back. Two bounces on the opponent's side means a point for you. Expect fun, fast-paced games.
What you'll need to play
Padel racquets are quite different from the ones we know and love in tennis. Instead of strings, they're solid and have holes in. And the balls are smaller and lighter than tennis balls. That means that when racquet meets ball it can pick up significant speed.
You can borrow Padel racquets from us and buy balls, so it’s no sweat if you’ve forgotten anything or don’t want to invest in equipment just yet. Just ask at reception.
