Padel in Lyon
Lyon is one of France's leading padel cities outside of Paris. The city has a strong sporting culture and padel has found a natural home here, with several dedicated padel centres and a growing coaching scene.
Why padel in Lyon?
- →France's second padel city: Lyon is the undisputed runner-up behind Paris in the French padel market — the city has multiple dedicated padel centres and the Fédération Française de Padel runs an active Lyon-region circuit with club leagues and open tournaments throughout the year.
- →Strong tennis-to-padel pipeline: Lyon's deep tennis culture — the city has historically been one of France's strongest tennis regions — has created a natural transition to padel, with many LFT-qualified coaches cross-training in padel and bringing high pedagogical standards.

Padel is a racket sport played in doubles on an enclosed court with walls. It combines elements of tennis and squash and is one of the fastest-growing sports in the world.
Padel Rules: How the Game Works
Padel rules are simple to learn. Played in doubles on an enclosed court, the game uses tennis scoring and allows the ball to bounce off walls after hitting the ground.

To play padel you need a padel racket, padel balls, and appropriate footwear. The racket is solid (no strings) with holes, and the balls are slightly softer than tennis balls.

The bandeja is a controlled overhead shot in padel used to maintain net position. It's one of the most important shots in the game and a must-learn for intermediate players.

The golden point is the sudden death point played at deuce (40-40). One team serves, and the receiving team chooses which side to return from. The team that wins the point wins the game — no advantage.
