Padel is a racket sport that combines elements of tennis, squash, and racquetball. It is typically played in doubles on an enclosed court that is roughly one-third the size of a tennis court. Scoring is similar to tennis, and the balls used are similar but with less pressure. Padel is considered easier to play and learn than tennis and is great for players of all ages and skill levels. It is a growing sport globally and is popular in countries like Spain and Argentina. However, it is not as popular in the United States due to high barriers to entry, poor marketing, and lack of interest.
