Padel in the Summer: Our Advice
Avoid the Hottest Hours
This could sound somehow trivial, but it’s absolutely true: avoid the hottest hours of the day and try to play mainly in the early morning or the late afternoon, when you will feel less heat.
Drink and Eat Properly
Always stay hydrated, take small breaks to drink during the game, and avoid heavy meals: these two pieces of advice are always useful before playing padel, but they are even more important during the summer.
Wear a Hat
Your head is the part of your body that is going to suffer the most from the heat: shield it from the sunshine with a hat, possibly one of a light color.
Wear Light Clothes
Wear light, possibly white clothes, so to avoid excessive sweating.
Take Care of Your Racket
Your racket is made of materials that may suffer intense heat. Don’t leave it in the sunlight for too long, because the heat may damage it.
Adapt Your Game
Your gameplay should adapt to the heat, too: try to dose your energies and exploit the differences in the racket and the field.
Now that you know what to do to play padel in the summer, you can book a high-quality padel court at Sporting Versilia and challenge your friends.
