What is Padel?

If you have ever played tennis or squash - you will love Padel-  it’s a new sport taking the world by storm and it's very social.

It came about in the 60’s in mexico but only really became international in the early 90’s and is gaining more popularity here in the recent decade. The history is interesting one from Mexico to Spain - more from LTA Tennis. Its payed as doubles and there are serves and there is a back wall which you can play off.

Although we will explain it on the day - here is a bit more about how to play and the rules from the Padel Hub
