The activity

Padel, explained

Padel is a racquet sport, usually played in doubles, on an enclosed court about a third smaller than a tennis court. The glass and mesh walls are part of play: the ball can bounce off them and stay in the rally. The serve is underarm and the court is compact, so beginners, including young children, tend to get into rallies quickly. For kids it builds hand-eye coordination, footwork, quick decisions and teamwork, because every point is played with a partner. Junior coaching usually happens in small groups, where children learn the basic strokes, how to use the walls and how to move with a partner, before moving on to match play as they improve.

Who it's for

Kids aged 4 to 15, from first-timers upwards. Groups are based on both age and skill level - normally 5-7, 8-10 and 11-13 years - after an assessment before the academy starts.

What to expect

Your child's first step is a level assessment, after which they join a group of four to six children of the same age and level. Trial sessions are available for first-timers, and WPA also runs open days where kids can try padel and meet the coaches. Juniors can bring their own racket and balls or rent them; in Dubai the kit comes from SIUX, the junior academy's sponsor. Dress in comfortable sportswear and non-marking sports shoes. Missed sessions still count against the package; a make-up is at WPA's discretion, mainly for illness or injury with a medical note. Prices and session times are not published, so ask the provider.
