Understanding Padel Court Positions

Good positioning is crucial in padel doubles. Let's explore the key concepts:

The Net Position

When at the net, stay close to your partner. Move together like a unit, maintaining about 2-3 meters between you.

The Back Position

When defending from the back, one player covers the lob while the other prepares for the volley.

Switching Sides

Communication is key when switching. Call out 'change' or 'stay' clearly to avoid confusion.

The Diagonal

Understanding the diagonal helps you anticipate opponents' shots and position yourself effectively.
