Padel Encyclopedia
A verified knowledge base about padel for players of all levels
Welcome to the Padel Encyclopedia — a structured knowledge base about everything related to padel.
Our Goal
To collect, organize, and verify as much information about padel as possible — from basic rules to advanced tactics, from the history of the sport to injury prevention.
Principles
- Verification — every fact is confirmed by at least two sources
- Structure — information is organized by topic and skill level
- Trilingual — all content is available in English, Russian, and Portuguese
- Up-to-date — rules, rankings, and results are updated regularly

A few words about this project
We are a small team of enthusiasts, not a newsroom with lawyers and fact-checkers on staff. We do our best to verify everything we publish, but we can’t guarantee that every number and every detail is perfect. If you spot a mistake, we’d genuinely appreciate a heads-up.
Texts and photos come from open sources (photos via Unsplash). We don’t sell anything and we don’t profit from anyone else’s content.
