Florida Trends

Padel is a racket sport similar to tennis but played in doubles on a smaller enclosed court. The court dimensions must be 65ft 7in or 20m in length and 32ft 8in or 10m in width. Currently, there are 12 million players, 30,000 courts, and 37 Federations worldwide, with a world padel tour. Padel is usually played on artificial turf systems produced by companies like Mondo Spa. In the USA, Florida is the hub of padel with Miami having the most padel clubs like Wynwood, Real Padel Miami, and Padel Life & Soccer, and with Ultra Padel Miami Center opening soon. The cost of constructing an indoor padel court ranges from 15,000 to 25,000 euros, depending on the padel court builder. Padel is different from pickleball, as the court is enclosed by glass walls like squash court, while pickleball is played on a badminton-sized court.
