Padel court
NEW at De Haeghehorst: a padel court!
Padel is a new sport: a mix of tennis and squash. Padel as a doubles game is played on a court of 10 by 20 meters. This court in divided in half with a net. Each of the 2 playing fields is divided into 3 areas: a back area and 2 front areas (service areas). The field and areas are divided by white lines that are part of the playing field. Padel courts have 3-metre high concrete or glass walls (at the back and along part of the sides). On both lateral sides, there is a 6-metre high wire mesh wall (metal), with a door in at least one of the sides at the center.
When playing padel, the ball must be hit across the net onto the field of the opponent(s) without hitting one of the sides first. You score points when the opponent(s) are unable to hit the ball back. The rally continues for as long as the ball is played by first hitting the ground and then one of the sides. This provides for longer rallies.
We already wish you lots of fun playing this game!
