In this episode of Padel Up: Beginner's Guide, host Jack Mercer breaks down everything you need to know about the padel court, making it the perfect listen for anyone just starting out in the sport. Whether you've just booked your first session or you're trying to understand the game before stepping on court, this episode gives you a clear, detailed and jargon-free explanation of the padel court layout.

Jack covers the official court dimensions, explaining that a standard padel court measures twenty metres by ten metres, and walks through the net height, the role of the glass back walls, the metallic side fencing, and how all of these surfaces actively come into play during a game. Unlike tennis, the walls in padel are not out of bounds, they are a core part of the strategy, and this episode explains exactly why.

You'll also learn about the service boxes, the centre line, the service line, and how the underarm serve works in padel, including where the ball must land and what counts as a fault. Jack also touches on court surfaces, from artificial grass with sand infill to hard court variations, and explains why the right footwear matters.
