It is important in a field of padel to communicate. It is difficult at first to find the right words that will allow your partner to know where your opponents are in order to play the most appropriate ball for the situation. It is also very important to communicate in order to know which of the two players is going to hit the ball. Take a few minutes with your teammate before the meeting and come to an agreement. You will avoid accidents.

The most known accidents, caused by miscommunication are:

  • At the net, ball in the middle, the two players clash or hit each other with the pala
  • At a lob, both players want to play the ball, look at it, and clash
  • At the bottom of the field, one ball in the center, one player wants to play the ball directly, and the other wants to play in the other direction, with the glass. The two palas collide in the opposite direction (violent)
  • Following a smatch of our opponents, both players run forward looking at the ball and bump into each other.
  • Bandeja for the player on the left, the player on the right moves back to play it as well and it is the racket strike in the head

Here are some accident videos fortunately without consequences. Think about communication in the field, it is essential.
