Padel Guides

• Padel Rules

  The rules of padel in plain English: how scoring works, how to serve, when you can use the walls, and exactly how a point is lost.

• What Is Padel?

  Padel is a doubles racket sport played on an enclosed glass court where the walls stay in play. Here is what it is, where it came from and why it grew so fast.

• How to Play Padel

  How to play padel from your first serve: court positions, the shots that matter, how to use the walls, and the mistakes every beginner makes.

• Padel vs Pickleball

  Padel and pickleball are often mentioned together and are barely alike. Court size, walls, scoring, equipment and who each one suits, compared directly.

• Padel vs Tennis

  Court size, serve, scoring, equipment and tactics compared — and what tennis players have to unlearn when they move to padel.

• Padel Court Dimensions

  Official padel court size: 20 x 10 metres, net heights, service box depth, wall heights and the space a court actually needs.
