- Padel is a hybrid sport, often described as a mix between tennis and squash. It’s played on an enclosed court, roughly one-third the size of a tennis court, with walls usually made of glass and metallic mesh. The ball can be played off the walls, similar to squash. Players use solid, stringless rackets (called “padel rackets” or “palas”) and a low-compression tennis ball. It’s almost always played in doubles.
