Where to play padel in Dubai: 4 courts you can book to play pickleball in town this autumn.
Padle is most defiantly the newest racquet craze across the word and especially in the UAE. Born in 1969 in Mexico thanks to Enrique Corcuera, the sport has surged in popularity in South America and Spain. Argentina and Spain excel in World Cup and World Padle Tour, and the sport now recognized as an official tennis discipline in Britain. It is a sport that combines tennis and squash, resulting in a fast pasted, exciting game. With patrons such as Serena Williams, Lionel Messi, and David Beckham, it’s easy to see that its allure cannot be helped.
The sport has a cult following, with people making league teams and formally planned tournaments held in the specialised Padle Clubs across the UAE, especially in Dubai. As the weather cools in the region, and outdoor spaces begin to become more functional, maybe a game of paddle is in the cards for you and your friends?
How do you play padel?
Padle is always played in doubles, and its court can be thought of as a smaller version of a tennis court. The presence of side and back walls enables longer rallies, making it a more demanding game even in friendly matches. The most significant distinction lies in the racket itself, featuring shorter handles and no strings.
Padle has been specifically noted for enhancing balance, hand-eye coordination, mental focus, and building core and leg strength – all while socializing with friends.
Why should I play padel?
The combination of social and cardiovascular benefits is the main reason to give it a go. October is a month that hosts numerous awareness campaigns, including Breast Cancer Awareness and Mental Health Day — and the Dubai Fitness Challenge. Viewing your health as a holistic and interconnected aspect of your life emphasizes the importance of investing in sports as a way of investing into oneself.
