Here are the most important points so you can get started right away:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. The serve: the opening of the game<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The serve must be played below the hips and served into the opponent\u2019s diagonal service box.<\/li>\n<li>The ball must hit the ground once before the serve.<\/li>\n<li>The ball can hit the glass wall on the serve, but not the fence. A correctly executed serve bounces on the ground in the opponent\u2019s service box and may then touch the glass wall, but not the fence on the side.<\/li>\n<li>In the event of a fault, there is a second serve \u2013 similar to tennis.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>2. The rally: dynamics and strategy<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The ball may also touch the glass wall after hitting the ground before being returned. The ball can also be played off the fence during a rally.<\/li>\n<li>The ball may hit the ground a maximum of once before it must be returned. If the ball touches the ground twice, the point is awarded to the opponent.<\/li>\n<li>Players can also return the ball directly from the air (volley) or after contact with the glass wall.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>3. Scoring like in tennis<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The points are scored the same way as in tennis: 15, 30, 40 and game. If it comes to a deuce (40:40), the next point (\u201cgolden point\u201d) decides the game.<\/li>\n<li>A match is usually best-of-three sets. A set is decided when a team wins six games by a margin of at least two games.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>4. Court boundaries and glass walls<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The glass walls and the fence around the court are an integral part of the game. A ball that touches the glass wall after hitting the ground remains in play.<\/li>\n<li>However, if a ball hits the fence or glass directly without first touching the ground, this is a fault.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>5. Fair play comes first<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>As padel is often played in a recreational and hobby environment, the focus is on having fun and socialising. Fair play is expected and appreciated.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5a2b904 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"5a2b904\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/padelwerk.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/padelwerk-1024x512.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-991980\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/padelwerk.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/padelwerk-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/padelwerk.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/padelwerk-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/padelwerk.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/padelwerk-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/padelwerk.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/padelwerk-1536x768.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/padelwerk.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/padelwerk.jpg 1688w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"vamtam-has-theme-widget-styles elementor-element elementor-element-6610f51 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6610f51\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What equipment do you need?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"vamtam-has-theme-widget-styles elementor-element elementor-element-9a787c2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9a787c2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Padel is not only easy to learn, but also uncomplicated to in terms of equipment:<\/p><br><ul>\r\n<li><strong>Rackets:<\/strong> A padel racket is smaller and lighter than a<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>tennis racket.<\/strong> It has no strings, but rather solid hitting surface with holes that allow optimal control.<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Balls:<\/strong> The balls are similar to tennis balls, but are slightly softer and slower.<br \/>Shoes: Non-slip sports shoes with good grip are ideal, especially for the artificial grass used on most padel courts.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"vamtam-has-theme-widget-styles elementor-element elementor-element-1ed9178 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1ed9178\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Why is padel so popular?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"vamtam-has-theme-widget-styles elementor-element elementor-element-34c2198 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"34c2198\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Padel is a sport for everyone.
