What is Padel?
Welcome to Padel, recognised as the fastest growing sport in the UK. Padel is a mix between tennis and squash, played on an enclosed court and mainly as a doubles format. It is an energetic, low-impact sport, very social and easy to pick up.
The rules are broadly the same as tennis, although you serve underarm. The court is 25% smaller than a tennis court and the glass walls are used as part of the game, with the ball allowed to bounce off them. Padel bats are very different from tennis rackets, stringless, much thicker and shorter.
The game is less dominated by strength, technique and serves as it is in tennis and therefore ideal for men, women and youth to enjoy time on court together. The skill is in your match-craft, as points are won by strategy rather than sheer strength and power.
New Head of Padel
Please welcome Warren, our new Head of Padel at Redland Green.
Warren first joined Redland Green in 2014, playing mostly squash. Following back surgery, he took up Padel in 2024 and enjoyed the game so much that he decided to join the Padel Coaching Team in October 2025. Warren is keen to push Padel at Redland Green to it’s full potential with many Padel Socials, Coaching Courses, Box leagues and Padel Tournaments.
Watch this space for any Padel updates and if you have any queries, please contact Warren at padel@redlandgreen.co.uk.
