Padel (sometimes known as padel tennis) is a racket sport that is most closely related to squash and tennis. It is a sociable sport that moves quickly, is simple to learn, and is appropriate for all ages. Padel has the excellent benefit of being appropriate for all ages and skill levels because it is not based on strength and serving ability, which is perhaps why the sport has become so popular. In padel, strategy and teamwork between you and your partner are more important than physical dominance.

Padel is frequently played in pairs. The only difference between padel and tennis is that in padel, the player also uses the walls, similar to squash. Both sports are played on courts that are divided by nets.
