Padel at NTRC
Four outdoor lighted courts. The world's fastest-growing racquet sport — now in Frisco, with programs for complete beginners through competitive players.
What Is Padel?
Padel is a racquet sport played in doubles on an outdoor court roughly a third the size of a tennis court. The walls are in play — much like squash — which creates a longer, more dynamic rally game that rewards strategy over pure power.
Born in Mexico and now the world's second most-played racquet sport, padel is intuitive enough for beginners to enjoy on day one, yet tactically deep enough to challenge experienced athletes for a lifetime. If you play tennis, pickleball, squash, or racquetball, you will feel at home immediately.
At NTRC, our certified instructors — including Co-Owner Alejandra Suarez, who represented the USA Padel team at the 2019 Pan American Games — will have you rallying confidently within your first session.
