Saturday November 2nd you are invited to try Padel at South End Racquet Club.
The game of Padel has been likened to ‘tennis with walls‘ and ‘squash in the sun’. It is a sport that combines the best elements of tennis, squash and racquetball. It has gained tremendous popularity due to its simplicity and similarities to already existing racquet sports.
The rules allow for the use of the back and sidewalls, resulting in longer rallies. The balls used are similar to tennis balls, the scoring the same as tennis, all the serves are underhand.
Padel is a fun game to play and appeals to a wide population. Children enjoy playing as it is easy to learn, promotes teamwork, improving their hand-eye coordination. It is a family game. The smaller court size brings everyone closer, making social conversation a much more integral part of the game. Padel is a great game for players of all ages and skills as it is both quick and easy to pick up and is less physically demanding than similar sports like squash. Most players get the grasp of the game within the first 20 minutes of playing and find it easy to achieve a level of proficiency so that they can enjoy it because the game is not as dominated by strength and serve as tennis.
