Padel or Padel tennis is a racket sport that originated in Mexico. It is a combination of tennis and squash and is played both indoors and outdoors. Doubles are usually played (two against two), but there are also singles matches (one on one). The court is designed with walls as in squash, but also nets as in tennis. The rackets are thicker than in tennis and squash, they are smaller in size and solid, not strung. This gives the player more control over the racket.

You need less strength and technical skills in Padel than in tennis. This means that Padel is suitable for both children and adults with different skill levels. Many people experience early mastery in Padel tennis, while at the same time the excersize is very beneficial. Although Padel is a mix of the best of two sports, you do not need to have played either tennis or squash to enjoy this sport.
