COURT AND RULES
Padel is a doubles sport played on a 20m x 10m enclosed court with glass walls and a metallic fence. The ball, similar to a tennis ball but softer, is served underarm after a bounce and must land in the service box. The ball must first hit the court before rebounding off walls or the fence. Points are won when the ball bounces twice on the opponent's side, following the same scoring system as tennis.

Enrique Corcuera in 1969 decided to adapt his squash court at his home in Acapulco (Mexico) with elements of Platform Tennis, creating what he called "Paddle Corcuera." He is considered the inventor of Padel. Enrique's Spanish friend Alfonso of Hohenlohe-Langenburg tried this new invention at Enrique's home and instantly fell in love. Immediately after, he decided to create the first two Padel courts in a tennis club in Marbella (Spain) in 1974.
