To play padel, two or four players use solid paddles to hit a rubber ball over a net on a smaller, enclosed court. The game begins with a serve, which must be underhand and land in the opponent’s service box. Players take turns hitting the ball, aiming to keep it within the boundaries of the court while trying to outmaneuver their opponents. The ball can bounce once on the ground and can also be played off the walls, adding a strategic element. Points are scored when the opposing team fails to return the ball within the rules, such as hitting it out of bounds or into the net. The game continues with quick rallies, emphasizing agility, coordination, and teamwork until one team reaches the winning score.
