PADEL AT POLO CLUB
NOW OPEN!
WHAT IS PADEL?
Padel is a sport which combines action with a fun and social environment. It’s a great sport for players of all ages and skills, as it is both quick and easy to pick up. Most players get the basics within the first half hour of playing so that they can enjoy the game in no time.
Padel is a mix between Tennis and Squash. It’s usually played in doubles on an enclosed court roughly 25% smaller than a regular tennis court. Surrounded by walls of glass and metallic mesh, the ball can bounce off any wall but can only hit the turf once before being returned. Points can be scored when the ball does bounce twice in the competitors’ field.
Padel is not as dominated by strength, technique and serve as is customary in tennis and therefore is an ideal game for men, women and youth to compete together. An important skill is match-craft, as points are won rather by strategy than by sheer strength and power.
