Understanding the basics: rules and techniques

If you’re new to padel, understanding the basic rules and techniques will help you get started and improve your game.

Padel rules:

  1. The court: Padel is played on an enclosed court, about one-third the size of a tennis court, surrounded by glass and mesh walls.
  2. Scoring: The scoring system is the same as tennis (15, 30, 40, game), with matches typically played in a best-of-three format.
  3. Serving: The ball must be served underhand, and it must bounce in the service box before being played.
  4. Ball in play: Unlike tennis, the ball can bounce off the walls, making for dynamic and strategic play.
  5. Winning a point: Points are won when the opposing team fails to return the ball, hits it out of bounds or into the net.

Padel techniques:

  • The forehand and backhand: Similar to tennis, but with shorter, controlled swings due to the enclosed court.
  • The volley: A crucial technique in padel, as players often need to react quickly to fast-moving shots.
  • The lob: Used to push opponents to the back of the court and create offensive opportunities.
  • Wall play: Mastering shots off the walls is essential for strategic gameplay and defense.

Why Padel is Here to Stay

Padel’s growing popularity in Lebanon is no surprise. It’s a sport that combines fun, fitness, and social interaction, making it an ideal activity for people of all ages. With more courts opening and the community expanding, it’s clear that padel is not just a passing trend — it’s here to stay.

So, grab your racket, hit the court, and experience the excitement of padel for yourself!
