Beginner Guide
Start your squash and padel journey
This guide walks you through your first steps in squash and padel. You'll learn the essential basics to start off right without picking up bad habits.
Chapters
1. Game Rules
Hard to improve without knowing the rules. We explain scoring, court zones, and service rules in just a few minutes.
2. Basic Position
Good positioning is half the work. Bent knees, feet apart, ready to move in any direction. We show you exactly how to stand.
3. First Shots
We start simple: forehand and backhand. No need to hit hard. We focus on technique and consistency. Power comes later.
4. The Serve
The serve is your first chance to score. We explain the right technique to start the point with an advantage.
5. Movement
Good footwork wins you points without hitting. We work on lateral, forward, and backward steps to be where you need to be, when you need to be there.
6. Equipment
Your first racket matters. We help you choose based on your build and playing style. No need to break the bank.
