Get Ready to Play: Padel v.s. Pickleball

We’re thrilled to share some exciting news with our community—four brand-new padel courts are coming soon to our facility! As the sport of padel continues to explode in popularity worldwide, we’re proud to bring more opportunities for fun, fitness, and friendly competition to our members.

What Is Padel?

Padel is a dynamic racquet sport that combines elements of tennis and squash. Played in doubles on an enclosed court about one-third the size of a tennis court, padel is fast-paced, strategic, and incredibly social. The walls are part of the game, much like in squash, adding unique angles and creative shot-making!

Padel vs. Pickleball: What’s the Difference?

If you’re already a fan of pickleball, you might be wondering how padel compares. While both are accessible, fun, and designed for doubles play, padel brings a different energy to the court.

Here’s where padel shines:

• More Dynamic Movement
  Padel is played on a larger court than pickleball, with more running, angles, and wall play. It’s a fantastic cardio workout and perfect for players who love to move.

• Strategic Complexity
  The inclusion of walls makes padel a more strategic game. Shot selection and positioning are key, which adds depth to every point.

• Global Growth
  Padel is one of the fastest-growing sports in the world, particularly in Europe and Latin America. By joining now, you’re part of a global movement!

• Low Barrier to Entry
  While padel rewards skill and tactics, it’s easy for beginners to start having fun from day one. The rallies are longer, and the scoring is similar to tennis, making it a smooth transition for players of all ages.

Why We Chose Padel

We believe padel is the perfect addition to our lineup. It brings the intensity and excitement of tennis, the community feel of pickleball, and a unique gameplay experience that keeps people coming back for more.

Stay tuned for construction updates, opening dates, and opportunities to sign up for lessons, clinics, and friendly tournaments. Whether you're new to racquet sports or a seasoned player looking for your next obsession, we can’t wait for you to try padel.

We’ll see you on the court!
