The essentials

A few useful words.

Doubles

Four players

Padel is normally played by two pairs, working together on each side of the net.

Serve

Underarm

The ball is bounced before an underarm serve, making the opening shot approachable.

The glass

Still in play

After the ball bounces, the court walls can become part of the rally. A class will explain the details.
