Junior Padel Rackets

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the Right Age for a Child to Start Using a Junior Padel Racket?

  Children as young as six can start using junior padel rackets. We recommend picking a racket that matches your child’s height, strength, and skill level to make sure they can play comfortably and safely.

• How Often Should I Replace My Child’s Padel Racket?

  Ideally, you should replace your child’s padel racket every 1-2 years if they play often. Look for signs like visible wear, decreased performance, cracks or other damage. All of these can indicate they need a new racket.

  As your child grows, their needs in a racket will change as well. Periodically check in with them to see if the racket still feels right. If it doesn’t, you may have to look for a new one better suited to their current size and strength.

• What Are Some Safety Tips for Young Padel Players?

  To help your child learn padel safely:

  · See that they use proper equipment, including a good racket and appropriate shoes.

  · Encourage your child to warm up before playing to prevent injuries. Simple stretches and light exercises can help.

  · Keep your child hydrated by having them drink water before, during, and after the game.

  · Teach your child to be aware of their surroundings on the court to avoid collisions with other players.

  · Consider using protective eyewear to prevent eye injuries, especially in competitive games.

• How Do I Care for My Child’s Padel Racket?

  Maintaining your child’s racket can help improve its lifespan and performance. After each use, wipe the racket with a damp cloth to remove dirt and sweat. Avoid using harsh chemicals that can damage the racket’s surface.

  Store the racket in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Use a protective cover to prevent dust and scratches.

  Keep the racket away from damp or humid environments, which can weaken the materials and affect performance.

  Also, teach your child to handle the racket gently. They should avoid throwing or hitting it against hard surfaces.
