Before you step on court

A padel racket with its safety wrist cord secured, padel balls and court shoes with suitable grip. Bring water and warm up together.

Padel is always played as doubles, two against two. Hit the ball over the net so it bounces in your opponents’ court and they cannot return it. Win points to win games, games to win sets, and sets to win the match.
