🤝 Win the Match — and Respect
Padel isn’t just about hitting hard. It’s about respect, teamwork, and understanding the flow of doubles play.
Following proper etiquette helps avoid arguments, keeps matches flowing, and makes you someone everyone wants to partner with.
🧾 Top 10 Padel Etiquette Rules Every Player Should Know
- Say Hello Before the Match
A quick handshake and greeting go a long way. - Never Smash Directly at Opponents
It’s dangerous and unnecessary unless you’re in a pro-level rally. - Call Lines Fairly — Even Against Yourself
Honor system matters in padel. Win with class. - Communicate Respectfully with Your Partner
No shouting or blaming. Encourage and regroup. - Don’t Coach During Points
It breaks rhythm and is frowned upon. - Apologize for Net Cords or Lucky Shots
Even if they win you the point — a small gesture shows humility. - Keep the Game Moving
Don’t take too long between points or serves. - Don’t Slam the Racket or Yell
Temper tantrums are never cool. - Rotate Balls Fairly on Serve
Keep it balanced for everyone’s rhythm. - Thank Everyone After the Match
Win or lose, show respect — always.
