Padel: Your Essential Beginner’s Guide

Rules, Health Benefits & the Social Side.

What Is Padel—and Why Is It So Popular?

Padel is one of the fastest-growing racket sports in the world. Combining elements of tennis, squash, and pickleball, it’s accessible yet exciting.
Originating in Mexico in 1969, padel has evolved into a uniquely social game—one that’s gaining traction from the UK to New Zealand and beyond. 

How to Play: Basic Rules & Equipment

 

  • Court & Setup
    The court is enclosed and smaller than a tennis court. Glass or polycarbonate walls are part of the game.
     
  • Racket & Ball
    Padel rackets are lightweight and perforated. The ball resembles a tennis ball in size.
     
  • Service Rules
    Serves must be underarm, bounce first, and be struck below the waist into the diagonal service box.
     
  • Returns & Walls
    After the bounce, the ball can hit the walls. You can return shots off the walls, making for fast-paced, dynamic action.
     
  • Scoring & Play Style
    It’s usually played in doubles, with strategy hinging on court positioning: defending from the back, attacking up front.
     
  • Ease of Learning
    Many players comment that padel is easier to pick up than tennis—and very addictive once you start.

Health & Fitness Benefits

 

  • Cardio & Fat Burn
    The continuous movement—especially in short bursts—boosts cardiovascular fitness and helps with weight loss.
     
  • Agility & Reflexes
    The confined play area demands quick footwork and responsive reflexes.
     
  • Strength & Coordination
    Using walls, volleys, and varied shots develops core strength, hand-eye coordination, and balance.
     
  • Fun Over Effort
    Because the game is fun and social, many players stick with it more loyally than with solo workouts.

Friendships, Dating & the Social Appeal

 

  • Built-in Social Network
    Playing doubles means you’re naturally interacting with others. Many people meet new friends within just a few sessions.
     
  • Romance on the Court
    In places like Spain, padel is ingrained in social life—even wedding parties sometimes include a padel match.
     
  • Mixed Tournaments & Community
    Clubs often organise mixed-ability and mixed-gender competitions. These provide opportunities to connect, bond, and perhaps find more than a match.
     
  • Stories of Connection
    Some courts have seen couples meet, get engaged, or simply grow closer through shared play and passion for the sport.

Ready to Get Started?

  • Play socially—invite others, join group sessions, make it part of your regular routine.
     
  • Stay open—you might just pick up fitness, friendships or even romance along the way.

Padel creates community, repeat visitors, and real revenue — all from one court.
