About Wheelchair Padel

Wheelchair padel follows the same rules as conventional padel, with the key difference that the ball may bounce twice before being returned, provided the first bounce lands within the court boundaries. The discipline has experienced exponential growth in recent years, establishing itself as one of the most internationally promising adaptive sports.
