Rules to be followed while playing Padel

• General Rules of Padel:

Padel games are played between two pairs of players using Padel racquets. Before a match, a coin is tossed to determine which team would serve first. Each match begins with a serve. This is treated as an underarm. Similar to Tennis the serving ball has to reach the opposite court diagonally.

Teams on either side have to score more points than opponents. The opposition team wins whenever ball bounces twice, the ball strikes any player, the ball hits the wire fencing or fixture before reaching over the net. Matches are made up of 3 sets, with 6 games in each set. Winners of two out of three sets are declared as the winner of Padel match.

However, unlike Tennis court, Padel court is surrounded by walls that are used during the game. The surfaces of the Padel court are made from a wide range of materials such as cement, synthetic material, and artificial grass. According to the International Padel Federation, the Padel court surface may also be made of blue or green coloured terracotta.
