About Padel
Padel is one of the fastest growing sports in the world: currently played by 15 million people in 50 countries and rapidly expanding worldwide. Padel combines the best elements of all racket sports. This makes it a truly fun and social sport for all ages. Padel is an addictive sport, many describe it as squash in the sun or tennis with walls. Whatever you call it, it is hugely popular everywhere.
Padel was invented in Mexico in 1969 by a Mexican gentleman named Enrique Corcuera, after he combined elements of a squash court and a tennis court in his house in Acapulco. Enrique originally wanted to build a tennis court, but he realized he didn't have enough space. So he made it smaller and built walls around it. He called this game 'Paddle Corcuera'. The rest is legend!
