A practical introduction to padel

Austin Edwards’s guide maps out the essentials of getting started with padel, from court specifications, equipment, rules, and terminology to basic strategy. It also connects instruction with practice: readers will find techniques, drills, and pointers for locating courts and clubs. Comparisons with tennis, pickleball, and squash help place padel among familiar racquet sports, while the book’s later topics extend beyond play to leagues, tournaments, watching professional matches, and the possibility of building a court. The coverage makes this both a primer on how the game works and an overview of ways to take part in the wider padel community.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • People new to padel who want an introduction to its rules, equipment, and basic strategies.
  • Racquet-sport players interested in how padel compares with tennis, pickleball, or squash.
  • Players seeking drills and practical guidance on finding courts, clubs, leagues, or tournaments.
