This February 2022, the biggest Padbol sports complex opened its doors to the public in Dubai.
What is Padbol?
Created in Argentina back in 2008, Padbol is a sport that combines elements from football, squash, tennis, and volleyball.
Padbol has been growing faster since its creation, currently played in over 30 countries, and with 5 World Cups from 2013 to 2017.
This sport it’s played in couples, with a lighter ball than a soccer one, and just like with tennis and volleyball, the ball is served to the other side of the court, divided by a net, where the rival couple has to hit the ball back, with the exception that in Padbol you have to touch the ball at least two times before returning it to the rival.
Besides, in Padbol, you’re allowed to use every part of your body to hit the ball, and you can bounce it off the floor and sidewalls since all the courts are enclosed spaces with glass.
As you can see, there are a lot of similarities between other sports, but a the same time, it has the right amount of new twists and rules to make a fun and entertaining ride.
So, why not try to extend the reach of Padbol in the UAE?
Maybe the next World Cup can be celebrated in Dubai, and the next winner is here too, but before ‘EmiratesPadPro,’ there wasn’t a place for them to practice.
Let’s see how this evolves and how many get into this ever-growing and fun sport.
What is EmiratesPadPro, and what are they trying to do?
EmiratesPadPro (owned by Samir, Hussein, and Kabir) has been recently inaugurated, with over 10,000 square feet worth of space for Padbol courts (with a total of seven) and Padel Tennis courts, as well as lots of accommodations for the visitors.
The complex has a space designated for parking, a lounge area for the visitors to hang out, a cafe, and shower areas for clients to use after finishing using the Padbol courts.
And since EmiratesPadPro has exclusive rights over owning and operating Padbol courts in the UAE area, they are your best and only option if you’re trying to practice Padbol in a professional environment.
But they’re not in any way trying to gatekeep Padbol from the general public; instead, they are doing the opposite thing. By making this place as big and full of commodities as it is, they are trying to encourage more and more people across the UAE to practice Padbol, as they believe (like many others do) that Padbol is growing fast in popularity.
So, if this sport is so full of potential, why not make a place for everyone to play it comfortably?
EmiratesPadPro was made for beginners and professionals equally. From a child’s camp that’s trying something new to professional Padbol matches, EmiratesPadPro has you covered.
