Can we play padel in the opposing camp?

You will not appreciate the answer: it depends!

In reality, everything depends on whether you touch the opposing court before the point is definitely finished or not.

For example, if during a point of padel, you walk on a part of the opponent's ground while the point is not finished, you lose the point.

However, you do not have the right to jump over the net. (Pity :))

Another point of the regulations explained to us by the manager of Béziers Padel Club, Renaud Murrat:

" You can not hit the ball in the opponents' court before they pass the net. On the other hand if the ball of the opponent passes the net then bounced on the ground, then on the glass and returns towards the opposite camp (smash) one can still play it in the opposite camp without touching the net of course. You can even jump the net to the other side if you play the ball before falling back to the ground ! "

  • "We can even jump the net into the opponent's court if we play the ball before falling back to the ground!"

    I am skeptical of it ... The rule seems formal "it is forbidden to jump over the net"
    And I think we would have seen that at a high level already.
    To put the foot in the opposite camp as the point is not finished is equivalent to losing the point!
