What is the padel licence?

A certificate for everyone who knows the key padel rules. Padel can be explained in ten minutes — but on court the arguments start with the details: may the serve hit the fence? Is the ball still good if it comes back over the net off the wall? Who decides on the golden point? The quiz asks exactly these situations and explains after every answer what applies.

The padel licence is not an official document and not a requirement to play. It is a good reason to learn the rules properly once — and a picture you can send to your group.

How the quiz works

  • 15 questions per round, drawn from a pool of 52: eight basics, five advanced, two pro questions on measurements and timings.
  • An explanation after every answer — right or wrong. You learn the rule while the situation is still fresh in your mind.
  • 12 correct answers earn the licence, 15 of 15 the distinction. The certificate carries your name (if you like), the date and the score.
  • Play without an account — repeatable any time, freshly shuffled every round. The certificate goes by email to your free Padelradar account.

Frequently asked questions

Is the padel licence an official document?

No. The padel licence is a certificate from Padelradar for everyone who knows the key padel rules — not an official qualification and not required to play anywhere. It is a reason to learn the rules properly once, and a picture you can send to your padel group.

Which rulebook are the questions based on?

The official rules of the FIP (Federación Internacional de Pádel), which national federations such as the German Padel Federation apply. Where tournaments differ — golden point or advantage, match tiebreak instead of a third set — the explanation says so.

How many questions do I need to get right?

12 of 15. Get all 15 right and the certificate comes with distinction. The questions are drawn from a pool of 52 and reshuffled every round.

Can I repeat the quiz?

As often as you like. Every round draws new questions, and every answer comes with an explanation — including the wrong ones. Most people pass by the second attempt at the latest.

Do I need an account?

Not to play — the quiz runs without signing up. For the certificate, yes: it goes by email to your free Padelradar account (just your email address, no password needed). Pass the quiz, register in a minute and it is sent straight to you. The name on the certificate is optional.
