Padel Magazine - Even if there is not necessarily specific regulation for SOLO pitches and minipadel (also called the “Kidspadel”), We will see that these different terrains are nevertheless great alternatives to the classic terrain.

1 / The SOLO field

There are “SOLO” pitches for 1 on 1 practice. In Spain, this is a fairly widespread practice. This type of field allows the little ones to play even if we will see that there are specific fields for "kids". But also and above all the SOLO will allow you to play 1 against 1 when a pair is lacking. Training on these types of terrain is also great because it forces players to play with precision. The width of the field requires over-concentration to avoid making too many mistakes.

The dimensions are 6m width and 18 or 20 meters in length. However, it is recommended to use a pitch of 20 meters in length, especially because the sensations for the players are closer to the classic terrain than those of a pitch of 18 meters.

2 / The minipadel or the “Kidspadel"

There are also minipadel. There are basically two types of dimensions
===> For 7-9 year olds: 10m * 6m with a 0.92 com net at the ends like a classic field.
===> For children under 5/6 years old: 5m * 3 or 4m. the net is generally 0.80 cm.

Remember that in Spanish-speaking countries, you learn to play very young and sometimes even before all other racket sports. These minipadel allow:

  • The youngest to play on a field adapted to their physique.
  • to give confidence to the youngest because they can try to play as the greatest.
  • to work on motor skills from an early age with in particular those rebounds that are only found padel.
  • To assimilate the basic movements.

Recommendations:

  1. Do not forget to provide young children with a snowshoe padel “Junior” and as light as possible. Today the materials used offer all the guarantees to children not to be damaged.
  2. Counting points must be as simple as possible. Submit a game in 15 winning points with two points difference. We change servers every two points.
