Due to the relatively low barriers to starting the game, it is wonderful for young people and those who might not have actively participated in racquet sports.  Padel is NOT a hybrid sport, but rather a game of its own, even as it is a cousin or sibling to tennis, squash, badminton, racquetball, etc.  While there are many games that promote fitness and fun for youth, padel is particularly attractive because the court is enclosed and therefore it is easier to retain the attention of young players.

 

On the other end of the spectrum, given the thousands of angles available to more skilled players, competition at the top end of the ladder can be fierce and exciting - for players and spectators alike.  As the court walls are nearly all glass, watching and enjoying games is spectacularly easy!
