Discover padel tennis
A thrilling mix of tennis and squash
Padel tennis – sometimes referred to as paddle tennis – originated in Mexico, with formal rules later developed in Spain. Now, the sport has reached Going at the foot of the Wilder Kaiser mountain, and it’s easy to see why: it's a fast, fun, and social game for all skill levels.
How padel tennis works:
- The game is usually played in doubles – two players per team. Singles play is also possible, with slight rule modifications.
- Courts are enclosed with glass or mesh walls, which are actively used during play, similar to squash.
- Players alternate hitting the ball over the net. After a serve, the ball may bounce once before being returned.
- Thanks to its simple rules, padel tennis is easy to learn and fun for all age groups.

Frequently asked questions about padel tennis in Tirol am Wilden Kaiser
Padel tennis – also spelled paddle tennis or simply known as padel – is a racquet sport that combines elements of tennis and squash. It is played on a padel court surrounded by glass or mesh walls, with a net stretched across the center, just like in tennis. Players take turns hitting the ball over the net. After the serve, the ball may bounce once before it must be returned. The court surface is often made of artificial turf covered with a layer of fine quartz sand to enhance grip and ball control. Padel uses special rackets and balls. Both are smaller than those used in traditional tennis. The rackets have a solid hitting surface, which offers more control and power during play.
For padel tennis, clay court or all-court tennis shoes are ideal. They should feature a low cut and flat sole to allow for quick, agile movements. Breathability and stability are also key for optimal performance on the court. Today, there are even shoes designed specifically for padel, which resemble tennis shoes but typically offer extra grip. On the other hand, running shoes with deep treads or trekking footwear are not suitable for this sport.
Unlike traditional tennis, padel tennis has no strict dress code – you can wear whatever makes you feel comfortable and allows for unrestricted movement. We recommend lightweight, breathable, and quick-drying sportswear. One essential detail to keep in mind: your shorts should have side pockets. In padel, players carry extra balls with them – and these shouldn’t be left lying around on the court for safety reasons.
