The activity

Padel, explained

Padel is a racket sport that mixes elements of tennis and squash, usually played in doubles on a court enclosed by glass and mesh walls that stay in play. The court is smaller than a tennis court, so it is less physically demanding and many children get rallies going quickly. Junior coaching typically blends footwork and racket-control drills with mini-games, building towards proper doubles points as skills grow. It develops hand-eye coordination, teamwork and quick decision-making. Central Padel's Junior Padel Academy takes children from age 4.

Who it's for

Children aged 4 to 16 in group lessons tailored to each age group, as published for the Al Quoz club. The club says no prior experience is needed and it welcomes players of all levels, from beginners to advanced. Ask the provider how juniors are grouped by level, and whether the Dubai Marina club runs junior lessons.

What to expect

At Al Quoz, junior lessons are 60-minute group sessions, tailored to the age group, and you pick the time slot that suits your child within the academy hours: Monday-Thursday 4-6PM, Friday 1-5PM, Saturday and Sunday 8AM-5PM. Registration is per term, aligned with the school calendar, and payment is required in advance. The club suggests comfortable sports clothing, non-marking sports shoes and a water bottle; rackets can be rented on site.
