Why Padel Is Booming Right Now

Sports often reflect the times in which they are played. And padel seems to fit perfectly into our modern world.

We’re looking for exercise, but without the pressure to perform. For a sense of community, but without complicated club structures. For experiences that can be spontaneously integrated into our daily lives.

Padel offers exactly that.

An hour is enough for an intense match. You can hire rackets from us. The rules are easy to learn. And because the game is almost always played in teams of four, it naturally fosters something that many other sports have lost: genuine interaction.

Perhaps that also explains why people rarely just head home after a game of padel. You stick around for a coffee. Chat about that crazy rally at 40:40. Arrange to meet up next week.

Never played padel before? Here’s what you need to know – then off to the court!

The good news: you need almost nothing.

• Sportswear that you feel comfortable in.
• Indoor or tennis shoes with good grip.
• A padel racket – you can easily hire one from PadelCity.
• Three fellow players. Or simply the community – you can quickly find suitable playing partners via the app.

And most importantly: you don’t need to be a tennis pro.

On the contrary. Many people who’ve never held a racket before are discovering their love of racket sports through padel.
