Padel (sport)

Padel is a sport that is a bit like tennis but played on a smaller court and with a different type of racket. It's a really fun game that you can play with your friends or family!

In padel, you have two teams, just like in tennis. Each team has two players. The court is enclosed with walls, similar to a racquetball court, so the ball can bounce off the walls and stay in play.

To play padel, you need a special racket. It is smaller and solid, with holes in it. You use the racket to hit a small rubber ball over the net and into the opponent's side of the court. The ball is a bit softer than a tennis ball, so it won't hurt if it hits you.

The goal of the game is to hit the ball over the net and make it bounce twice inside the opponent's court. If the ball bounces twice, the other team loses a point and you get a point. You want to try and make it hard for the other team to hit the ball back to your side.

You can hit the ball against the walls to make it bounce in a different direction, which adds an extra fun aspect to the game. Sometimes, instead of hitting the ball hard, players will use the walls to make the ball bounce close to the net, which can make it really tricky for the other team to hit it back.

You have to be really quick and agile in padel because the court is smaller and the ball can bounce off the walls. You need to move around a lot and use your racket skills to hit the ball accurately and strategically.

Padel is a social sport, which means it is a great way to make new friends and stay active. It's also a great sport for all ages because you don't need a lot of strength or speed to play. As long as you can hit the ball with a racket, you can enjoy padel!

I hope this explanation helps you understand how padel is played. Have fun playing this exciting sport with your friends and family!
