What is padel?
Padel, also called paddeltennis was officially created in Mexico in 1969, but it was not until 1974 that the first padel club was created in Marbella, Spain. A mixture of tennis and squash, this sport is played 2 against 2, ideal for spending quality time with family, on a field of 20x10m (<>/<> less than an ordinary tennis court) surrounded by glass. In squash, it is accepted to bounce the ball on the walls of the court. One of the advantages of padel, whether you are beginners or experienced players, it remains a sport for all where the first reflexes are acquired very quickly.
