The rule of service at padel is sometimes controversial on certain amateur and professional matches. here is a few lines what you must do for a service within the standards.

We have all heard on the pitch of the players saying "you are a little high". This rule is a bit difficult to judge or penalize without a referee.

Here is exactly the rule of service.

  • At the moment of the ball striking, at least one foot should be in contact with the ground, and should be behind the line (do not bite it).
  • The shot must be shot below the horizontal line of the belt.
  • The ball may be struck beyond the vertical line of service.
