What is Padel? What is Pickleball?
Padel: The Fastest-Growing Sport in the World
Padel is a mix of tennis and squash. It’s played in an enclosed court with glass walls, allowing rebounds. Players use solid rackets and a pressurised ball. The game is fast, fun, and social.
Pickleball: The Sport Taking Over Ireland
Pickleball combines tennis, badminton, and table tennis. It’s played on a small court with paddles and a light plastic ball. It’s easy to learn and great for all ages.
Padel vs Pickleball:
Padel is played in an enclosed glass court, while pickleball is played on an open court.
Padel uses solid rackets and a pressurised ball, while pickleball uses paddles and a light ball.
Padel relies on strategic shots and wall rebounds, while pickleball is about quick reflexes and net play.
Who Can Play?
These courts are open to everyone—from beginners to pros. The two Premier Padel courts are reserved for players aged 14+ to keep play at a high level.
