Paddle has a fun geometric quality embedded into the structure of the sport. Unlike tennis, once the ball hits the court surface it can be played off the screens until it hits the surface a second time. This gives players in the back-court ample time to play a shot, which results in dynamic play with the potential for longer and more creative points. Paddle can be played outdoors during the winter as snow and ice are cleared using heaters located underneath the raised platform surface.
