SPORTS - Padel

Padel is a racquet sport played with a racket that is shorter than a tennis racket and a little heavier.

It is played only in doubles in a closed court, glazed and topped by fences at the bottom of the court and on the upper sides.

The game is played in the same way as tennis doubles, with the walls forming the boundaries of the court. The ball must bounce into the opponent's court before it touches the walls. If the ball touches the walls directly, it is a foul.

The counting of points and games is identical to tennis. The service is done with a spoon and the ball must bounce behind the service line at the start. However, the ball can touch the glass (not the side screen) after bouncing in the service box. Also, the glass walls can be used to put the ball back into play. We advise you to watch some padel exchanges on Youtube.

Location

Padel courts at the Sart-Tilman sports centers

How do I get to the courts?

From the parking lot, go up the concrete staircase leading to the cafeteria.

Then, cross the terrace; the padel courts are directly across from you.
