• What's padel? A cousin sport of pickleball, padel is a fast-paced racquet game played in doubles on a smaller tennis court where the ball can be bounced off glass walls surrounding the court.
• In season: The PPL's inaugural season will begin in the spring and end with the PPL Cup Championship in June. The inaugural PPL player draft will take place on Mar 20.
