Padel (also known as padel tennis) is a dynamic, social racket sport that blends the best elements of tennis and squash. Played exclusively in doubles (2v2) on an enclosed court, it has exploded globally to become the fastest-growing racket sport in the world, with over 25 million players across 90 countries. At Guardwe, we bring this booming sport to life by delivering FIP-standard padel courts—the official foundation for every professional and recreational game.
1. What Makes Padel Unique?
Padel stands out for its accessibility, strategy, and community spirit. Unlike tennis, it requires less running, thanks to a compact court and walls that keep rallies going longer. Key features include:
Court Size: 20m × 10m (about one-third the size of a tennis court), enclosed by 3–4m high glass and mesh walls.
Equipment: Solid, stringless rackets with holes, plus low-pressure balls that bounce slower than tennis balls.
Wall Play: After bouncing once on the ground, the ball can hit walls and stay in play—adding tactical depth you can’t get in other racket sports.
Scoring: Same as tennis (15, 30, 40, game), with matches typically played as best-of-three sets.
Easy to learn but hard to master, padel welcomes players of all ages and skill levels—making it a favorite for clubs, families, and social gatherings.
2. The FIP Standard: Non-Negotiable for Professional Padel
The International Padel Federation (FIP) is the global governing body of padel, setting the only official standards for courts, equipment, and competition rules. A FIP-compliant court isn’t just about size—it ensures safety, consistent gameplay, and eligibility for official tournaments.
Core FIP requirements for padel courts include:
Exact Dimensions: 20m × 10m rectangular surface, with an 88cm-high net dividing the court.
Safety Glass: Tempered glass panels for back and side walls, built to withstand high-impact shots and player collisions.
Surface Performance: Flooring with precise grip, cushioning, and bounce to meet FIP’s competition-grade specifications.
Structural Stability: Frames engineered for wind resistance, durability, and long-term safety—critical for both indoor and outdoor courts.
At Guardwe, every padel court we design and build adheres 100% to FIP standards. We don’t cut corners on safety or performance—because a true professional padel experience starts with a FIP-compliant court.
