What is Padel?
Padel is the fastest-growing sport in the world, combining elements of tennis and squash into an exciting, social, and easy-to-learn game. Played on an enclosed court about one-third the size of a tennis court, padel uses solid, perforated rackets and a low-compression ball. The game is typically played in doubles, making it highly interactive and team-oriented. Because serves are underhand and the ball can be played off the glass walls, rallies last longer, and players of all skill levels can enjoy fast-paced, competitive action.
Why People Love It
Padel is designed to be inclusive, making it accessible to all ages and athletic backgrounds. Beginners can quickly pick up the basics, while advanced players enjoy the strategic depth, quick reflexes, and physical challenge the game provides. Its mix of social connection, fitness, and fun is what makes padel the sport of choice for millions worldwide. At Premier Sport International, we are proud to bring this dynamic and engaging sport to Nashville, helping to grow a vibrant community both on and off the court.
