TrainingIn padel each partner owns one half of the court. Here's who plays right, who plays left, how to test your side in three sessions, and when to switch mid-match.
TechniqueThe bajada is padel's most aggressive baseline shot. Learn to read the lob, meet the ball coming off the glass at the right height, and turn defence into offence.
For beginnersPadel borrows tennis numbers but adds the golden point, a 7-point tiebreak and a few quirks of its own. A step-by-step guide so you keep score from match one.
TrainingPadel isn't a long-run sport — it's sideways bursts from a deep squat. Seven home exercises, no gym, and a ready 25-minute weekly plan.
TechniqueThe chiquita is a slow, low ball played at the feet of the netters. Learn when it beats a lob, how to hit it, and where to aim to take the net safely.
Padel culturePadel is a social sport, and your on-court manners decide whether you get invited back. The unwritten rules: before, during, and after the game.
