Hosted by Sunday Sweat: Padel Liveball

The rules of LiveBall are pretty simple. There are always Four players on the court at one time - two on the champion side, and two on the challenger side in doubles formation. To displace the champions, the challengers need to win 3 points before the champs win two points. The coaches feed the action switching between players on the challenger side each feed!! When you win the champ side, you have to run to your position on the other side of the court, as a 3 second count down is ticking until the next ball is fed to the next set of challengers. The game play is fast paced so keep your eyes on the coach in between points as the ball may be coming your way. Only thing we ask is be safe, play your hearts out, and make it over onto the champ side and then stay over there as long as possible!!
