The Rise of Padel: Why Everyone is Going Crazy for This New Sport

Are you looking for a new sport to try this summer? Look no further than padel! This exciting sport is taking the world by storm, with celebrities like David Beckham and Pippa Middleton jumping on the bandwagon. But what exactly is padel, and why is it becoming so popular?

Padel is a mix between tennis and squash, played in doubles on a smaller court with walls and a cage that you can use to your advantage. The rackets don’t have strings, making it easier to control the ball and play strategic shots. It’s a social game that’s great for friends and family of all ages and abilities.

I recently had the opportunity to try padel for the first time at a pop-up court in Battersea Power Station, and let me tell you, it was a blast! With the help of a professional padel coach, I quickly picked up the basics and was able to start playing right away. The game is fast-paced and exciting, with plenty of opportunities to show off your skills and dominate the court.

If you’re looking to try something new this summer, I highly recommend giving padel a shot. It’s easy to pick up, but tough to master, making it a fun and challenging sport for players of all levels. So grab a friend, book a session at a local padel court, and get ready to have a great time on the court!
