It is played in pairs on an enclosed glass court measuring 10 by 6 metres. Players use their feet, chest and head, but never their hands, to hit the ball over the net, whilst the walls, just like in padel, play an active role in the game. The result is a fast, energetic and unique game that combines technique, reflexes and teamwork. It might be a good idea to make padel courts available for this; we can imagine that footballers would really enjoy this game!
