Welcome to Play Padel, the Padel Perth Reabold courts in Floreat!
We have a lot in common far beyond our genes. Since we were kids, padel has always sent us into a frenzy. It is fun, it keeps you fit, it is easy to learn and you can play it with friends, family, or anyone who is keen to give it a go.
Padel was, and still is, very popular in Spain, where we were born. We have been playing it since 1990 and both of us became a great team together. We even won six Junior Spanish Championships and qualified twice to compete in the Junior World Padel Championship in Argentina.
Come meet us anytime and don’t miss out on the fun! Let’s spread the padel love together!

WHAT’S PADEL
Padel is a racket sport that combines features of both tennis and squash. Two pairs play against each other in a small court with high walls. Since its invention in Mexico in 1969, it has rapidly become the fastest growing sport in Europe and the rest of the world.
Easy to play
- Get the grasp of the game in twenty minutes.
- Just a court, four rackets and a ball
- Padel is played in an enclosed court (10 x 20 m), which is about half of the size of a tennis court, with a wire mesh on the sides and glass walls at the end.
- Padel rackets are made of carbon and fibreglass and are easy to handle.
- Balls have slightly less pressure than the ones used in tennis and look very similar.

Long rallies with four players make the game enjoyable and dynamic.

Rules
Padel is played in doubles. The scoring is the same as in tennis but serve is underarm. You can play off the walls, always after the ball has first bounced on court. The rules are regulated by the International Padel Federation (FIP).
