Padel is a great addition to any existing racquet club or as an alternative to under utilized tennis courts or other areas of under utilized space. Compared with tennis, Padel has many benefits. Economically, clubs can generate a much higher return per sq ft than with tennis courts. Demographically, padel is attractive due to its low impact and longer rallies which allows for aging baby boomers to play into their late years without pain and with greater aerobic impact.Padel has gained rapid popularity due to its simplicity and similarities to tennis, squash, racquetball and badminton. The short padel is much easier to control than the longer stringed racquets.
From the first time on court, novices of all ages can enjoy a well played game with plenty of rallies. The game primarily applies tennis doubles rules with some key adaptations such as an underhand service and the use of "live" end and side walls. A regular tennis ball is used and remains in play longer than in a typical tennis match.
Padel is fun and easy to learn for all levels of skills and physical fitness. Because it is played as a doubles game, it is also a social way to exercise with friends, family and associates.
