Kids' Padel Rackets – Lightweight & Safe for Young Players /32 products

Padel for Children

Children’s padel is a social sport, a school of coordination and confidence. For effective and safe play, it is essential to choose equipment that matches the child’s age and skill level. The Kids padel rackets category is designed for safe development and proper technical formation, which directly affects enjoyment of the game and long-term motivation.

Properly selected junior padel rackets are the foundation of health. Children’s joints and ligaments are still developing, and using heavy equipment can lead to chronic overload of the wrist and shoulder. At Fun Padel, we approach this with medical precision: our goal is to provide your child with an easy start and effective injury protection.

Safety Anatomy: How Is a Junior Racket Technically Different?

Manufacturers do not simply copy adult rackets by reducing their size — they redesign the engineering. To choose the best padel rackets for children, it is important to understand the key technical parameters that guarantee injury prevention:

• Ultralight weight (280–340 g) — reduces inertia and ensures an easy swing without overloading the wrist and elbow
• Thinner frame (34–36 mm) — improves maneuverability and reaction speed
• Smaller grip size — ensures correct grip without forearm strain
• Soft materials — soft fiberglass and extra soft EVA core to protect the joints
• Round shape — a large sweet spot that forgives mistakes

To preserve the equipment, it is important to select appropriate padel bags adapted to children’s formats.

Which Youth Padel Rackets to Buy in Portugal?

To choose a racket for a child correctly, you should focus on three main parameters:

• Height — the racket should not be too long
• Age — determines the acceptable weight of the equipment
• Playing experience — skill level dictates material selection

1. Beginners and Children Aged 5–8 (Learning the Basics)

The main priority at this stage is enjoyment and ease of hitting the ball.

Goal: Find beginner padel rackets for kids that encourage continued training.
Weight: Up to 300–310 g.
Shape: Round shape, featuring a large central contact zone that forgives mistakes.
Materials: Soft fiberglass and extra soft EVA core. The soft core acts like a spring, helping the ball clear the net without physical strain.

2. Juniors and Teenagers Aged 9–14 (Junior / Teens)

This is a transitional stage. These players often already have basic technique and require more power.

Goal: Find padel rackets for teenagers that can withstand intensive training sessions and prepare muscles for adult equipment.
Weight: 310–340 g.
Technologies: Often replicas of adult models (for example, Bullpadel Hack Junior or Adidas Metalbone Youth), adapted to teenage biomechanics.
Balance: Low or medium for control.

Do not buy a racket “for growth”. A simple test: if the child holds the racket along the body and it touches the floor, the model is too long and will negatively affect technique.
