HOW TO PLAY THE GAME – PADEL 

Format: Padel is played in a doubles format
Scoring: Padel uses the same scoring system as tennis
Volleys: as per tennis, you can volley the ball at anytime apart from the return of serve
Serving:
• You start from the right hand side, with an underarm serve, which must go into the cross court box
• The server must bounce the ball before serving, and connect with the ball below waist height
• The server must keep at least one foot on the floor when serving, the feet must not touch or cross the serving
line
• If the ball hits the net and lands in, a let is called; if the balls lands in the box and hits the wire fence it’s a fault
• If the ball lands in the box and hits the side wall or back wall, the ball must be played as in.
• You have two serves as per tennis

• what’s in and what’s out in Padel:
  • The lines on the court are only in play for the serve, if the serve hits the line it’s a valid serve
  • Any player is permitted to play the ball off any of the walls on their side of the court
  • The ball must bounce on the opponents side before hitting the wall or wire fence
  • You can play the ball off the walls, like you would in squash
  • If the balls bounces twice on your side, you lose the point
  • If the ball strikes either player, the point is lost
  • If the ball hits the walls or wire fencing without bouncing first, you lose the point
