Padel is a hybrid racket sport that is a mix of tennis, squash and badminton. Faster than tennis and slower than squash, Padel is ideal for a stimulating yet fun workout. It is an action packed sport played in a glass cage on an artificial turf. Rallies, lobs, smashes and drop shots are very common in the game.

A standard Padel court is 10 metres by 20metres so about a third the size of a squash court and thirty percent smaller than tennis courts; the balls used are the same as tennis balls but with a little less pressure, and the rackets are stringless and perforated commonly made of carbon and fiberglass.

The game is popularly played in doubles so 2v2 while there is can also be in singles 1v1 (the singles court is 6 metres wide compared to the 10 metres
wide doubles court).
