What Are The Advantages of an Indoor Padel Court?

Now that padel is becoming so popular and more and more tennis associations are building a padel court, you see a lot of outdoor and indoor courts. Here are some of the benefits of playing on an indoor track:

• No wind

Do you play padel in a cage? Then you won’t be bothered by the wind! You hear that a lot from people who don’t play that much or don’t play at all. Still, wind certainly has an effect on your game. In padel you play a lot for the net position, which you can conquer by playing a high ball. We call the high ball the ‘lob’ if you play the lob and there is a lot of wind, the ball can change direction a lot and land either too far or too close. Wind will definitely influence your game!

• never too cold

When it is cold outside it is of course less attractive to go and play padel . This has been solved by the indoor courts. It will never be too cold and there will be a similar temperature in all indoor courts. Even when it snows, the indoor lanes are open. No sore hands and cold muscles when you stand still or have a break, I see this as a big advantage, especially in cold areas and in winter!

• The sun

The sun is of course wonderful. But if your opponent plays a lot of lobs, the sun can be very annoying. You often see that both teams suffer from this, because you also switch sides. So no one benefits from this unless the sun is already setting during the game. This is not a problem for indoor courts!

• Rain

Rain is not good for the game. It’s not good for the materials you use. Even if you have wet windows, it is not nice. The ball will not bounce well when wet and with wet windows it will be quite disappointing.

Conclusion:

Playing outside can be super fun! with good weather conditions it is wonderful to be outside. But the weather also plays a major role in the game and can cause many drawbacks.
