More fun, more action, more social. Padel is a dynamic sport that takes the best parts of Tennis and Squash and creates something more - More fun, more action, more social. What are the rules? Padel is a doubles or singles game played on an indoor or outdoor astro turf court that is 20x10 metres (doubles court) or 20x6 metres (singles court) and enclosed on all sides by walls. The walls enable players to play shots off the glass if the ball has only bounced once. All the rules Padel is the fastest growing sport in the world and now has over 25 million players in over 90 countries. It’s also taken South Africa by storm, with hundreds of courts having been built in the last few years. Have fun. Get fit. Build relationships. Who’s Padel for?
