Women’s Padel Outfits: Tips for Putting Together the Perfect Outfit

All the tips you need to put together the perfect padel outfit for practice and matches, combining comfort and style

Choosing the right padel outfit isn’t just a matter of style; it can directly impact your performance on the court, whether during practice, matches, or official tournaments.Women’s padel apparel, just like men’s, should meet a series of technical requirements, ensuring freedom of movement, long-lasting comfort, and good breathability. Padel matches and training sessions can, in fact, be particularly intense and last a long time: wearing clothing that allows the body to breathe while also providing protection and comfort is essential for performing well on the court.

Of course, clothing should also be chosen based on the season: in the summer, lightweight, breathable fabrics are essential for keeping the body cool and dry, while in the winter, thermal layers and heavier clothing help retain body heat without sacrificing breathability and freedom of movement. Personal needs and style preferences can also influence the choice of a padel outfit. Some players, for example, prefer more form-fitting garments, while others might opt for pieces with a looser, more adaptable fit that ensure greater comfort.

To put together the perfect padel outfit for matches and practices, you’ll need to keep these and several other factors in mind. Let’s take a look at them together!

How to Choose the Right Women’s Padel Outfit

As we’ve seen, choosing the right women’s padel outfit is essential for ensuring comfort, optimal performance, and freedom of movement during play. Here are some key factors to consider when selecting the clothing that best suits your needs:

  • Breathability: Padel is a dynamic sport that involves rapid movements and frequent bursts of speed. For training, as well as during matches, try to choose clothing made from breathable technical fabrics, specifically designed to promote sweat evaporation and wick moisture away from the skin, keeping you dry and cool even on the hottest days. Clothing with mesh inserts or made from materials like polyester—known for its breathable properties—is the ideal choice;
  • Freedom of movement is essential for ensuring good performance on the field and being able to execute quick, precise shots. Choose garments made from stretchy fabrics with a loose, adaptable fit, such as leggings, shorts, or skirts with built-in shorts. For the top, slightly form-fitting T-shirts or tank tops that hug the body well without being too tight or restricting movement are ideal;
  • Type of use: Consider how often you play padel and your skill level. If you’re a casual player, you might want to opt for more comfortable, versatile, and less technical clothing. If, on the other hand, you play regularly or at a competitive level, invest in specialized padel apparel made from high-performance technical materials and designed to deliver top-level performance—such as those offered by Padel Mi Amor;
  • Season: Choose your outfit based on the temperature and weather conditions. In the summer, opt for lightweight, breathable fabrics, such as tank tops, shorts, or skirts. In winter, on the other hand, you can add thermal layers or comfortable padel sweatshirts to wear during practice or before and after matches to retain body heat without compromising your range of motion;
  • Comfort and fit: Padel apparel should be comfortable and fit your body perfectly, without being too tight or causing discomfort during play. Choose pieces that flatter the female figure while ensuring comfort and making you feel at ease on the court. If possible, try them on before buying and make sure there are no seams or tags that could cause irritation when they come into contact with your skin;
  • Personal style: Choosing your padel outfit is also an opportunity to best express your personal style. Choose colors and designs that you like and that reflect your personal taste. You’ll have a wide range of options to choose from, from solid-color pieces to bold prints, and from neutral tones to brighter hues—all perfect for standing out on the court with a modern, eye-catching look.

Technical Fabrics: The Key to Combining Comfort and Performance

Technical fabrics are an essential component of padel apparel, as they offer the perfect balance between comfort and performance, allowing players to reach their full potential on the court. Unlike traditional fabrics, such as cotton, which tend to absorb sweat and remain damp, technical fabrics are designed to promote breathability, wicking moisture away from the skin and keeping it dry and cool even during the most intense matches. This feature is essential for preventing irritating skin contact and feelings of discomfort, allowing players to focus exclusively on the game.

Technical fabrics are generally also distinguished by their resistance to frequent washing and theirquick-drying properties—key factors in ensuring practicality and a longer lifespan for garments compared to those made with traditional fabrics.
Among the technical fabrics best suited for padel apparel are polyester and spandex. Polyester is a lightweight, durable, and quick-drying material that provides excellent breathability and freedom of movement. Spandex, on the other hand, adds elasticity to garments, adapting perfectly to the body’s shape and following every movement without constricting or limiting mobility. The combination of these two materials results in high-performance fabrics that provide muscle support, promote moisture-wicking, and reduce fatigue, thereby improving endurance and speed on the court. In addition, some technical fabrics may feature special antibacterial and odor-resistant treatments that prevent the growth of bacteria and keep garments fresh longer, even after several hours of play.

Women’s Padel T-Shirts: Buying Tips

Choosing the right women’s padel T-shirt is essential for putting together a padel outfit that combines style, comfort, and performance on the court. Opt for styles made from breathable technical fabrics, such as polyester or a blend of polyester and spandex, which help wick away sweat and keep your skin dry during play. Choose comfortable, slightly fitted styles with an adaptable fit that ensure freedom of movement even during rapid movements and changes of direction.

The padel shirts offered by Padel Mi Amor are specifically designed to provide comfort and high performance, and are available in a variety of styles, colors, and designs to meet the needs of every female player. Made with high-quality technical fabrics, they ensure optimal breathability, lightness, and comfort, allowing you to focus solely on the game. The ergonomic cuts and flat seams minimize chafing and irritation, while the modern, trendy colors and designs—enhanced with logos, prints, and contrasting details—are ideal for adding a touch of style to your athletic look.
To create the perfect padel outfit for your workouts, you can pair the T-shirt with a pair of padel leggings or a skirt—which is also perfect for matches.

Padel shorts or a padel skirt?

The choice between padel shorts and padel skirts is often a matter of personal preference, but padel skirts have certain features that make them the ideal choice for combining performance and style, both in training and in competition. Their design—which combines an outer skirt with built-in shorts—ensures optimal freedom of movement, similar to that of shorts, but with an added touch of femininity and style. The inner shorts ensure maximum comfort during movement, while the outer skirt adds elegance and dynamism to the athletic look.
Compared to shorts, padel skirts can offer greater ventilation—especially on hotter days—thanks to their more open design. This makes them particularly suitable for summer or for players who tend to sweat a lot, but also for indoor training sessions or matches.

Padel Mi Amor padel skirts are made from lightweight, breathable technical fabrics designed to promote ventilation and sweat evaporation, keeping your skin dry even during the most intense matches. They stand out for their simple, clean-lined yet modern and trendy design, as well as their comfortable, adaptable fit that flatters any body type.
Various styles and colors are available: from the brightest and most vibrant options, such as the lime-colored Gloria skirt, to more neutral and delicate ones, such as the white Mi Amor skirt—perfect for pairing with coordinating tops or contrasting colors.

Other Must-Have Accessories for Female Gamers

Fuchsia Padel Bag (back)In addition to technical apparel, to complete your padel look, you’ll also need other accessories—essential for ensuring comfort, practicality, and style on the court. A padel bag is essential for carrying and protecting your gear—such as rackets, balls, and shoes—and for ensuring you always have everything you might need for practice or a match. Choose a spacious, durable bag with dedicated compartments to keep your gear organized—like the Padel Mi Amor bag. As an alternative to a bag, a padel backpack can be an equally good choice. In this case as well, be sure to choose a backpack specifically designed for padel, equipped with side compartments to protect your rackets and pockets to store balls, accessories, or other personal items.

Breathable, high-performance padel socks are essential for playing in maximum comfort, keeping your feet dry, and preventing blisters. Choose styles made from soft, breathable materials, such as cotton, that prevent bacterial growth and keep your feet fresh even after several hours of activity. Also, make sure they provide adequate protection and support for the arch and ankle, ensuring stability even during quick movements and changes of direction. mi Amor Padel socks are made from 100% Italian cotton and feature reinforced areas at the toe and heel to ensure maximum comfort and stability on the court.

A baseball cap is another essential accessory for playing your best, especially during the summer and on the hottest, sunniest days. Choose a breathable, lightweight style that doesn’t obstruct your vision or get in the way while you’re playing. During outdoor matches and practices, wearing the right padel hat can make all the difference, preventing eye strain and ensuring better concentration on the court.

Finally, padel wristbands can be useful for wiping away sweat from your forehead and face during training or competition. Soft and comfortable terry cloth wristbands are the best choice because they offer excellent absorbency and fit perfectly around the wrist without being too tight.
By completing your padel look with these accessories, you’ll be ready to take on any match, combining style, comfort, and practicality—allowing you to focus exclusively on the game and your performance on the court!

Summer Padel Clothing: How to Choose It?

All the tips you need to choose the perfect summer padel attire and make the most of your practices and matches

Carefully choosing your summer padel apparel is essential for performing at your best during matches and practices in the hottest months. In the summer, high temperatures and sun exposure can significantly affect your performance on the court. Summer padel apparel must be designed to ensure coolness, comfort, and protection, allowing players to focus exclusively on the game.
One of the most important features of good summer padel apparel is definitely breathability. Technical fabrics are generally the best choice because they facilitate sweat evaporation, keeping the skin dry and preventing irritation. Additionally, these materials are lightweight and allow for greater freedom of movement, which is essential for a dynamic sport like padel.

In addition to breathability, however, there are several other factors to consider when choosing the right clothing and accessories to ensure maximum comfort while playing, even during the hottest months.

In this article, we offer some helpful tips for choosing the perfect summer padel attire, taking into account various factors such as fabrics, fit, and much more.

Summer Padel Clothing: Everything to Consider When Choosing

As we’ve seen, the choice of padel clothing can affect your comfort and performance on the court, especially in the summer, when your body tends to heat up quickly and excessive sweating can cause discomfort and irritation when it comes into contact with your skin. The main goal, therefore, is to find garments that keep you cool and allow for freedom of movement, while also providing adequate protection from the sun’s rays. To choose the right padel clothing, you’ll need to consider:

  • Breathability is essential for keeping your body cool and dry. Be sure to choose clothing made from high-quality technical fabrics —such as those offered by Padel Mi Amor—that ensure good temperature regulation and facilitate the evaporation of sweat. Fabrics such as polyester, nylon, and spandex are particularly well-suited because they allow air to circulate and reduce the feeling of dampness on the skin, preventing potential irritation and keeping you feeling cool during play;
  • Comfort is another crucial factor when choosing padel apparel. Summer clothing should be lightweight and soft to the touch, with no seams or labels that might cause discomfort. In addition, stretchy materials are preferable because they conform better to the body and movements, allowing you to sprint, jump, and change direction without hindrance and ensuring a comfortable feel throughout the match. ​​Flat or heat-sealed seams can also reduce the risk of chafing and improve comfort;
  • Fit: Padel apparel must fit perfectly—neither too tight nor too loose. The garments should allow for freedom of movement without any restrictions. Choose shorts and shirts with an adaptable, ergonomic fit that follow the contours of the body without constricting it and allow for agile, rapid movements;
  • Quick-drying, which is a key feature of athletic apparel. Technical fabrics that dry quickly reduce the feeling of wetness on the skin, increasing comfort. Garments made from these types of fabrics are particularly suitable because they allow players to quickly return to the field even after breaks between games or practices, without the uncomfortable feeling of wearing damp clothing;
  • Design and style: Even on the court, appearance matters, and the design of padel apparel is an aspect that shouldn’t be overlooked. Light, vibrant colors are perfect for summer because they reflect sunlight better, keeping your body cooler. The design should be ergonomic, with cuts and seams that follow the contours of your body to enhance comfort and functionality. In general, try to choose pieces that follow current trends, best reflect your personal style, but are also functional and high-performance, and can make your playing experience even more enjoyable;
  • Ease of washing: You sweat more in the summer, so it’s essential that your sportswear is easy to wash and retains its technical properties even after numerous washes. Choose garments made from high-quality fabrics that aren’t too delicate and can withstand frequent washing.

By taking all these factors into account, you’ll be able to choose the summer padel apparel that best suits your needs, ensuring optimal comfort, protection, and performance during every match and practice session.

Here, too , breathable, quick-drying fabrics are essential for ensuring a high level of comfort. Styles with feminine details—such as the Anita tank top with crisscross straps at the back and a reflective print on the back—can enhance your athletic look, adding a touch of style to any outfit.

Men’s Summer Padel Apparel: How to Combine Comfort and Style

For players, too, the right clothing should combine comfort, breathability, and style. Among the must-have items are definitely short-sleeve shirts, which are staples of every men’s padel outfit, not just in summer but throughout the year.
The best men’s padel shirts for the warmer months are those made from technical fabrics, such as polyester and spandex, and featuring a relaxed fit—like the Padel Mi Amor “Den” shirt with its regular fit, which also stands out for its unique color gradient from light blue to gray and contrasting red details.

As an alternative to T-shirts, you can also choose men’s padel polo shirts, which are more stylish but just as comfortable and functional. Polo shirts made of 100% polyester, such as the Active polo shirt—which also features Active-Dry technology—are the best choice because they offer superior breathability and help manage sweat, keeping your body dry and comfortable at all times. The buttoned collar allows you to adjust ventilation as needed. Mi Amor padel polo shirts are available in several colors—white, blue, or black—and can be paired with solid-color shorts in the same shade or with contrasting details and logos to create the perfect outfit for any occasion.

UNITY OF PURPOSE

As of February 2024, the Italian apparel brand Padel Mi Amor has added Víctor Ruiz—who ranks among the top 20 in the world according to the FIP rankings—to its roster of ambassadors. We sat down with him to discuss the partnership, which has also led to the creation of a dedicated line, as well as to review past performance and future goals.

Padelbiz CoverGreat people for great ambitions. This phrase sums up the partnership between one of the circuit’s top players, Spain’s Víctor Ruiz, and one of the most dynamic and up-and-coming brands on the Italian scene. Thanks to this agreement—along with those involving three other Spanish players we’ve already mentioned (Teo Zapata, Pedro Meléndez, and Carmen Castillón)—the brand has also made its international ambitions clear. These ambitions were cleverly implied from the very beginning, even in the choice of the brand’s name.

We’re talking about Padel Mi Amor, a brand founded in 2021 by Paolo Fina together with his partner—both in business and in life—Alessandra. It’s a brand that many of you have already come to know, both through the content on Padelbiz and through the brand’s presence at major padel events. First and foremost, the two Premier tournaments in Milan (last December) and Rome (mid-June), where Padel Mi Amor will be out in full force, handing out the two signature series jerseys designed by Teo and Víctor. We actually had a great chat with Víctor himself—“on and off the court.”

s Víctor Ruiz, No. 20 in the FIP rankings

How did your partnership with Padel Mi Amor come about, and what does it involve?

The partnership came about after my agreement with my previous brand ended, thanks to my agent, who was familiar with the Padel Mi Amor project. Everything went very smoothly from the moment we got in touch, because we clicked right away. We then signed a two-season sponsorship deal, which I’m very happy about. The brand supports me in every way, and it’s also very easy to work with the team because of their great dedication. We’re accomplishing things that we really enjoy and that bring us a lot of satisfaction.

The brand is about to launch an exclusive collection called “Víctor Ruiz por Padel Mi Amor.” What was your contribution to this collaboration?

I’m happy to have my own collection. When we first started talking about the project, we were all clear on our intention to create something that would define us and set us apart from the rest. So we began working on this personal line. Each of us contributed our own vision and ideas, and I’m pleased with the final result. What I find most appealing, aside from the design, is the quality of the garments. I’ve always wanted to work with an Italian clothing brand because they’re the best in the industry.

Why did you initially decide to take up padel?

Ever since I was a child, I’ve always had a great passion for this sport. At first, I didn’t think I’d be able to become a professional. But little by little, the results started coming, and so this sport also became my job.

Tell us a little about this season. Are you satisfied with what you’ve accomplished so far, and what are your goals?

Honestly, I’m not happy with our results so far this season. We’ve had some bad luck with the draw, and we haven’t been up to par in the competitions. We need to improve because we’ve now reached a level where we’re capable of doing much better. I also think that playing all our tournaments on the road has hurt us to some extent, because when you play that way, many other factors—besides the game itself—come into play. Our goal is to stay as close as possible to—or within—the top eight pairs in the world.

How was your experience at the Pro Padel League in Miami?

It was a wonderful experience. Padel is booming in the United States, and this league is investing heavily in bringing the world’s best players there. I’m happy with my team (Flowrida Goats), and we’ll see if we can win something.

Do you think the Premier Padel organization has changed—including in terms of players’ rights—since it incorporated the World Padel Tour?

Without a doubt. Although there are areas where Premier Padel can improve, the leap in quality already evident in the new circuit is enormous. Every aspect of the professional game has improved; they’ve made padel more accessible to everyone, more global… What we are today bears no resemblance to what we were before.

What achievement in your professional career are you most proud of?

If I had to pick one tournament from my career, I’d definitely choose the one we played in Milan in 2022, where we made it to the final against Galán-Lebrón. In that tournament, we played spectacular padel and beat some very strong teams. I think that at that level, we’re capable of beating anyone, but it’s very difficult to maintain.

You’ve been in a relationship with Lucas Bergamini for a few years now. In your opinion, what’s the secret to why you two are still together? In recent years, so many couples have ended up breaking up—why do you think that happens?

We understand each other very well, both on and off the field. And we can’t deny that our results have also helped make our partnership stronger. This time we’ve spent together—even though we’ve faced some challenges—has helped us discover what we’re capable of, and now that things aren’t going well, we know that if we work hard, we’ll be able to get back to where we were before. The instability of partnerships today doesn’t help anyone, because people are looking for immediate results, and that isn’t always possible.

Do you have any other sponsors? How do they support you?

Yes, the main one is Urich, the racquet brand that joined us a few months ago. We’re trying to create the best racquet in the world, and I’m really passionate about this project. Then we have sponsors like Padelmit, Grupo Inglés, Cartago Center, and Bipi. I’m very happy with the companies that have put their faith in me, and I try to repay that trust by staying committed and delivering results.

Fabio Maraccani, General Manager and Sales Director, Speaks

Starting this year, Padel Mi Amor has added another “top player” to its team. We’re not talking about an athlete, but rather a key figure with extensive experience in the sports and lifestyle markets—it’s no coincidence that he holds the dual roles of general manager and sales director. With a background as sales manager at Oakley, Umbro, Superga, K-Way, and Brekka, Fabio is putting his professionalism and expertise to work for the Milan-based company. With excellent results, judging by the brand’s growing presence in specialty stores and major sports retail chains, including DF Sport Specialist, which features a dedicated section in its new and beautiful store in Lissone. The same goes for the Italian distribution of Royal Padel racquets.

How is the brand’s business strategy evolving?

We are pleased to have quickly built a highly competent sales team in the padel market. The project was well-received, and the sales force immediately recognized its solidity, ambition, and vision, and embraced its goals.

What does the addition of Víctor Ruiz to your roster of ambassadors mean to you?

Our partnership with a global padel icon like Víctor Ruiz has had a huge impact both on the professional circuit and in the market. First of all, we are the first Italian technical sponsor to outfit a top-20 player in the world, and this has inevitably generated a great deal of astonishment and interest. Furthermore, for a young brand like ours, being able to present ourselves to customers through a partnership of this caliber significantly boosts our credibility.

You also recently opened your own section inside DF Sport Specialist in Lissone. Can you tell us a little about it?

Having a wall display featuring Padel Mi Amor products on the opening day of the new flagship store—a project strongly championed by Sergio Longoni—is a source of immense satisfaction for us. It proves that hard work pays off and that projects presented to a serious and highly prestigious partner like DF Sport Specialist find fertile ground. We are particularly proud of this initiative. What’s more, it is generating sales results that, quite frankly, exceed all expectations. And this is just the beginning!

Padel: Mi Amor apparel—the champions’ favorite… What’s New

Victor Ruiz, the world No. 16 and a finalist at the Milano Premier Padel, has also become a brand ambassador for the Milan-based brand.

 

How do padel champions dress? Just look at them on the court… Among the new faces of Padel Mi Amor is Victor Ruiz, the recent finalist at the Milano Premier Padel and No. 16 in the world rankings; since February, he has been a Padel Mi Amor ambassador and will wear the brand’s apparel throughout 2024. But that’s not all: an exclusive clothing collection dedicated specifically to the Spanish champion, “Padel Mi Amor por Victor Ruiz,” will be launched.

 

Like Ruiz, other top players—including Teo Zapata (ranked No. 42), Pedro Meléndez (No. 90), and Carmen Castillón (No. 63)—have also chosen this padel apparel and accessories brand. Furthermore, the iconic sportswear brand Padel Mi Amor—founded in Milan in 2021 by Paolo Fina and his partner Alessandra—is making a name for itself across the board, having also become the official distributor in Italy of Royal Padel racquets.

 

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE RIGHT CLOTHING – Padel is a sport that’s constantly growing and has literally exploded in popularity in Italy and around the world in recent years. As the sport has reached professional levels, there’s been an increasingly thorough search for the right clothing to improve performance: “I discovered Padel Mi Amor on Instagram. I saw that they had an Andalusian teammate on their roster, so I looked them up and fell in love with their clothes—I really noticed the quality. A major plus is their fabric, which keeps you feeling comfortable at all times,” explained Carmen Castillon herself.

 

EXPERIENCE – After all, Fabio Maccarani, the sales director at Padel Mi Amor, also has extensive experience in the world of sports apparel: “I’ve held sales and marketing management positions at various companies in the sporting goods and sportswear industries. I started at Oakley and then moved on to Umbro, Superga, K-Way, and finally Brekka. During my long tenure at Brekka, I became involved in the world of padel and became a distributor for Siux in 2021. Having developed a passion for this sport, I enthusiastically accepted the opportunity to lead the Padel Mi Amor project and support a clothing line entirely dedicated to padel.”

 

AT THE PADEL TREND EXPO – Padel Mi Amor was also present at the Padel Trend Expo in Milan, the major event held at the Allianz MICO Fiera Milano City, alongside numerous major brands, last January. Participating in this true “padel expo” further helped strengthen Padel Mi Amor’s image in Italy and around the world, and the response was overwhelmingly positive: “Everything went smoothly with Paolo and Alessandra,” said Teo Zapata, “because we work together with great dedication and there’s a lot of passion behind it. I really enjoy working as part of a team, and it’s great that the brand supports me just as much even when the results aren’t there, and celebrates with me when they are.”

Padel Training: All the Best Clothing and Accessories

A Buying Guide to the Best Padel Clothing and Accessories for Your Workouts

Just like official matches, padel training sessions also require appropriate clothing and accessories to maximize performance and comfort during play. Training sessions are essential for honing technical and tactical skills and preparing effectively for leagues and tournaments, and they often involve targeted exercises, such as precision shots, rapid rallies, and lateral movements. If training sessions take place outdoors, choosing the right clothing and accessories becomes even more essential.

During outdoor training sessions, players are exposed to the elements—such as the sun, wind, and humidity—which can significantly affect their performance and comfort while playing. Wearing appropriate technical apparel, made from breathable fabrics that feel light against the skin, helps the body stay cool and dry at all times, preventing overheating and excessive sweating, which could compromise performance. Furthermore, since padel is a particularly dynamic sport that requires rapid movements and frequent bursts of speed, it is essential that the clothing allows for maximum freedom of movement. Stretchy and soft fabrics are essential features to look for in padel shirts, shorts, or skirts.

But specifically, what are the must-have clothing items and accessories for workouts? And how do you choose them? Here are some helpful tips for buying everything you need for your workouts and hitting the field in top form.

How to Choose the Best Clothing for Padel Workouts

To choose the best clothing for your padel workouts and ensure maximum comfort and optimal performance on the court, you’ll need to carefully consider several factors. Here are some things to keep in mind:

  • Season: When choosing a padel outfit, you should consider the season in which your training sessions take place. During the summer, it’s best to opt for lightweight, highly breathable clothing that keeps your body cool and dry even on the hottest days. In winter, on the other hand, you’ll need to wear additional layers and thermal fabrics to retain body heat and protect yourself from the cold;
  • Skill level: A player’s level of experience can influence their choice of clothing. For beginners, more comfortable and easy-to-wear items may be more suitable, while more advanced players may opt for more technical and high-performance clothing and accessories, designed to increase comfort and ensure top-level performance during play;
  • Personal needs: Every player has specific needs in terms of fit and comfort. It is important to choose clothing that suits your physical and personal needs, ensuring a comfortable fit and optimal freedom of movement during the game;
  • Breathable materials: When working out, it’s always best to choose lightweight, breathable fabrics that allow for good ventilation and quick-drying of sweat to keep your body cool and dry during intense physical activity. Technical fabrics that ensure high breathability and good moisture management are particularly well-suited for workouts;
  • Fit and freedom of movement: The fit of clothing is essential for ensuring good freedom of movement during play. Choosing garments with ergonomic seams and stretch fabrics that allow for wide, unrestricted movements is essential for executing precise and quick shots.

5 Must-Have Clothing Items for Padel Training

As we’ve seen, every player may have specific needs and prefer different types of padel clothing based on the fit of the garments, their physical characteristics, how sensitive they are to cold or heat, or other personal needs that can influence their choice. However, there are some essential pieces of clothing for padel training that every player should purchase. These definitely include:

  • padel shirts, essential for indoor or outdoor training all year round. Before making a purchase, make sure they’re made from breathable, lightweight fabrics that offer good ventilation and quick-drying properties, helping sweat evaporate and keeping your body cool and dry during intense physical activity on the court. Also, be sure to choose padel shirts that offer comfort and freedom of movement for optimal performance—such as those offered by Padel Mi Amor.
  • Padel Tank Tops, ideal for both indoor training and outdoor padel. In general, tank tops offer greater freedom of movement and are lighter than short-sleeved shirts. They are therefore particularly well-suited for spring or summer training sessions, when temperatures are higher and you want to maximize ventilation and comfort while playing;
  • Padel Sweatshirts: During padel training sessions, you may find yourself facing a variety of weather conditions. A padel sweatshirt made from warm yet lightweight and breathable fabrics can provide protection from the elements—such as wind and cold—especially during outdoor training sessions in the shoulder seasons. Be sure to choose a sweatshirt that allows you to move freely, is easy to put on or take off as needed, and offers a high level of comfort during training sessions.
  • Padel shorts for him or a skirt for her: Padel shorts are an essential part of every player’s wardrobe because they ensure comfort, freedom of movement, and optimal performance during training. Make sure they’re made from lightweight, breathable fabrics that provide optimal ventilation and quickly wick away sweat, keeping your body cool and dry. Choose styles with a comfortable, adaptable fit that allow for quick lateral movements and sprints without restriction. Padel shorts are particularly well-suited for outdoor training in the spring or summer, when it’s essential to keep your body cool and dry to maximize performance, but they’re also ideal for indoor training year-round. Padel skirts, on the other hand, are an essential piece of clothing for female players who want to combine style and functionality during training sessions. Made from lightweight, breathable fabrics, they conform perfectly to the body’s contours, allowing for fluid, unrestricted movement.
  • Long pants or padel leggings, ideal for players who want extra protection during training. Here, too, choose styles made from durable yet breathable fabrics that ensure optimal comfort and freedom of movement. Also make sure they have a comfortable, form-fitting cut that allows you to execute precise, quick movements without restriction. Long pants are particularly well-suited for indoor winter training or outdoor training during the transitional seasons.

Padel Training Gear: The Essentials

Yellow-Green Padel BagIn addition to clothing, choosing the right padel training gear is essential to ensuring your comfort, convenience, and optimal performance during workouts. Among the essential padel accessories that can enhance your training experience are padel bags, which are useful for safely transporting your rackets and all your other gear. Choose a spacious and durable bag—such as the Padel Mi Amor bag —equipped with dedicated compartments for rackets, balls, clothing, and other accessories, allowing for optimal organization and protecting all your gear from potential impacts while on the go.

Padel hats are also essential accessories for outdoor training, protecting your eyes and head from the sun and improving visibility during play, especially during the hottest months or in bright sunlight. Made from 100% cotton using lightweight, breathable fabrics, Padel Mi Amor’s padel caps ensure optimal ventilation and a comfortable fit in any playing condition. Furthermore, thanks to the convenient adjustable Velcro closure system, they can comfortably adapt to any head shape, ensuring maximum comfort during outdoor training sessions.

Red Padel CapPadel wristbands are definitely among the most useful accessories for training. Make sure they’re made of soft, highly absorbent materials that won’t cause discomfort or irritation when in contact with your skin. Terry cloth wristbands —such as those offered by Padel Mi Amor—are ideal for training because they’re specifically designed to absorb sweat from your forehead and face and fit perfectly around your wrist without being too tight.

Premier Padel 2024: What Will Change?

Premier Padel and the World Padel Tour are joining forces to form a single, major global circuit

2024 is shaping up to be a year of major developments for padel, with the launch of a unified world tour that promises to take the sport to new heights of excellence and popularity. After lengthy negotiations, Premier Padel and the World Padel Tour—which until last year were two separate circuits—have reached an agreement and decided to merge to create a single, major official professional padel circuit, Premier Padel, governedby the International Padel Federation.

The merger will bring several benefits, both for players and fans, thanks in part to the creation of a unified calendar, which will make it easier for all the world’s top players to participate. The new tour will feature 25 tournaments in 18 countries, distributed evenly across the continents. But this won’t be the only change: in addition to the Premier Padel, there will also be a new circuit,the Ultimate Padel Tour, launched with the support of investors from the Damm Group. This circuit is the leading professional circuit in Spain and aims to expand its presence throughout Europe as well.

Let’s take a look together at all the latest news from the 2024 Premier Padel and the Ultimate Padel Tour!

Premier Padel 2024: What’s New and Future Scenarios

Since its debut in 2022, Premier Padel has quickly captured global attention, establishing itself as one of the fastest-growing sports circuits. During its first year of operation, the tournament attracted more than 500 players, immediately demonstrating its potential to draw top-level talent. In 2023, the circuit’s success was further solidified by the participation of over 110 professional female players. In recent years, Premier Padel’s global reach has become evident, with broadcast agreements reaching over 180 countries worldwide and millions of views on YouTube, making this sport increasingly popular and appreciated globally.

The 2024 Premier Padel season promises to introduce a series of exciting new features that will have a significant impact on the world of padel. The new schedule consists of 25 tournaments: a substantial number that ensures continuity in the sporting spectacle without, however, putting a strain on the players’ endurance and physical condition. The model for the new Premier Padel circuit is similar to thatof the ATP (Association of Tennis Professionals) and calls for an equitable distribution of tournaments, which will be held in 18 countries across five continents throughout the year (three of which will take place in Italy).

The new schedule aims to further boost the popularity of padel in countries such as Spain and Latin America, but it will also open up new opportunities and possibilities in Europe, the Middle East, North America, and Asia. The goal is to involve players from different countries, taking padel to a global level and expanding the base of fans and players worldwide.

Among the new developments for 2024, the introduction of new rules and game formats stands out, designed to make matches more exciting and accessible to a wider audience. There are also plans to enhance marketing and promotional strategies, with the goal of attracting new sponsors and increasing public interest, as well as adopting advanced technologies to improve the viewing experience for both those attending games in person and those watching from home.

Premier Padel: The Official Schedule

Premier Padel Players  The Premier Padel calendar will kick off on February 26, 2024, with the Riyadh P1 in Saudi Arabia, followed by the Qatar Major (which will take place from March 3 to 8).

In June, the Premier Padel will arrive in Italy at the Foro Italico in Rome, which will host the second Masters event of the season.

In August, after completing more than half of the events on the schedule (14 out of 25), the tour will take a 28-day summer break, before resuming on September 2 in Madrid. The season will then continue in Europe and the Middle East, with new Premier Padel stops in Rotterdam, Düsseldorf, Sweden, Dubai, and Kuwait City. In October, the P1 tournament in New Giza, Egypt—which was suspended last year due to the conflict between Israel and Palestine—will take place once again.
In November, Mexico will hostthe season’s final Major, while in December, the Milan P1 will wrap up the main part of the season.

Ultimate Padel Tour: A New Spanish Professional Circuit Is Launched

The Ultimate Padel Tour (UPT), the new Spanish padel circuit, was launched by a group of investors from the Damm Group (which also promoted the former World Padel Tour) as an alternative to Premier Padel, with the goal of consolidating and promoting professional padel in Spain. The tour presents a unique opportunity not only for professional male and female padel players but also for amateurs, who will have the chance to compete in high-level tournaments.

With 90% of its tournaments taking place in Spain, the Ultimate Padel Tour aims to become a true benchmark at both the national and European levels.
The UPT comprises 16 tournaments, 14 of which are held in Spain and 2 in other European countries, offering a prize pool of approximately 240,000 euros per tournament, divided between the men’s and women’s categories. The circuit will also provide various benefits to players, particularly those ranked outside the top 40 in the world, who will be eligible for travel expense reimbursements and access to various services, such as physical therapy and transportation support. This new approach will attract a larger number of athletes, offering greater opportunities to emerging talents as well. Furthermore, all male and female players will be free to participate in other circuits without the risk of incurring penalties.

UPT tournaments feature 48 pairs, 8 of whom advance from the qualifying rounds. The Master Final is reserved for the top eight pairs of the year, with an additional bonus awarded to the top 20 in the final standings and incentives for players under 21.
The first tournament, held from February 10 to 18, 2024, in La Coruña, saw a surge in entries (129 men’s pairs and 67 women’s pairs), including top-level players such as Lucas Campagnolo and Agustín Gutiérrez, Javi Leal and José García Diestro, Virginia Riera and Sofia Araujo.
Padel Mi Amor ambassadors Victor Ruiz Remedios, Teo Zapata Pizzarro, Pedro Meléndez Amaya, and Carmen Castillón Gámez will participate in both the Premier Padel circuit and the Ultimate Padel Tour in Spain.
