Padel
The court
On the property, and part of the stay.
Playing here
The court is on the property, so playing is a decision you make in the morning rather than a trip you plan the day before.
Padel is played in doubles on a court enclosed by glass and mesh. The walls are in play, which is what makes it forgiving: a ball you would have lost at tennis comes back off the glass and the point carries on.
That is also why beginners and regular players can share a court without either being bored. Rallies last, because the court keeps the ball alive.
Who can play
The court is for people staying in the house. It comes with the stay rather than being rented by the hour.
Never played?
Padel is the easiest racket sport to start and the hardest one to stop playing.
A real rally in five minutes
The racket is short and solid, the court is small and the ball is slow. Most people are playing points, not practising, within the first few minutes.
Always four
Padel is played in doubles, so nobody sits out and the difference in ability between four people matters far less than it would in singles.
The walls count
You can play the ball off the glass behind you. It takes one game to get used to and it is what keeps the rallies going.
