Absolutely. Fully in line with the philosophy of our founders, NOPA should be serving all type of players of quality and design. Therefore, all racquets and balls are fully compliant with the regulations set out by the FIP.

Padel is a beautifully intuitive sport, and its rules are refreshingly straightforward. But if you ever need a quick reference, or feel like diving deeper into the finer details of the game, we’ve got you covered.

Racquets

NOPA offers four types of padel racquets to suit different players and skill levels. Here’s a quick guide:

  • Intermediate/Advanced – Limited Edition:
    Ideal for experienced players who want top performance and exclusive style. These racquets feature our latest technology and limited-run designs for a premium, one-of-a-kind feel.
  • Intermediate/Advanced – Vintage: Great for advanced players who love a classic look. The Vintage line has retro-inspired designs with modern construction, offering excellent performance with a touch of old-school flair.

  • Beginner/Intermediate – Classics:
    Perfect for those new to padel or playing for fun. Our Classics racquets prioritize a forgiving feel and easy control, helping you build confidence on the court.
  • Kids – Young Heritage: Designed for junior players. These racquets are lighter and smaller, making it easy for kids to learn the game and swing comfortably.

No matter your level, we have a racquet that fits. If you’re still unsure, let us know a bit about your game and we’ll happily help you choose the best match.

Both our Vintage and Limited Edition series are high-performance racquets for intermediate to advanced players, but they have different focuses:

  • Limited Edition:
    These racquets showcase cutting-edge designs and are produced in limited quantities. They often include special graphics or collaboration artwork. If you want an exclusive racquet with the newest tech (and don’t mind that once it’s sold out, it’s gone), a Limited Edition is for you.
  • Vintage
    Our Vintage racquets offer a timeless aesthetic with classic colors and styling. They’re a nod to padel’s heritage, combining a retro look with modern materials. Unlike the one-time runs of the Limited line, Vintage models tend to remain in our lineup, so you can replace or get a matching pair down the line.

In short, choose a Limited Edition for an exclusive, contemporary design, or go with Vintage if you prefer a classic vibe, both will perform superbly on the court.

Yes! Every NOPA racquet comes ready to play. All our racquets include a built-in removable wrist strap for safety (so you won’t lose your racquet mid-swing and FIP regulatory) and a protective carry cover.


The cover is great for storing your racquet and protecting it from scratches or weather when you’re not playing.

To keep your racquet in prestine condition we added a racquet protector that you can apply to the top of your racquet (or keep off for the weight focused Pros) to keep your racquet in prestine condition even during those enthusiastic or more challenging points.

Our racquets come with a comfortable grip already applied (you can always add an overgrip later if you like a thicker handle). In short, you’ll have everything you need to head straight to the court.

They might look similar, but padel balls are a bit different from tennis balls. For one, padel balls are pressurized to a slightly lower level (around 10–11 psi, versus ~14 psi for tennis balls​0

This means they don’t bounce quite as high or as fast, resulting in a bit slower ball speed and longer rallies on the padel court. (dont worry our NOPA Padel balls are still perfect to be kicked out of bounds for those satisfying "por tres/cuatro's")

Padel balls are also just a touch smaller in size than tennis balls. These differences make them perfect for padel’s smaller court and glass walls.

We do offer NOPA padel balls (sold in tubes of three), so be sure to use real and fresh padel balls for the best playing experience.

Apparel

Our activewear is made from performance fabrics that are lightweight and moisture-wicking, perfect for playing padel or working out.

In contrast, our casual wear uses comfy materials like cotton or cotton-blends, ideal for everyday off-court style.

For example, our quick-dry T-shirts (and quick-dry caps) are part of the activewear line, designed to keep you cool and dry during intense play.

On the other hand, our classic crewneck sweatshirts and cotton tees fall into casual wear, offering soft comfort for relaxing or socializing.

Both lines are stylish, but activewear pieces are built for sweat and movement, while casual pieces prioritize all-day comfort.

Most of our apparel is designed with a unisex fit to be worn by anyone.

Our t-shirts, quick-dry shirts, and caps all use unisex sizing, so they’ll look great on all genders.

The exception are our Yoga Set, which is tailored more toward women (it includes a fitted sports bra top and leggings) and our , crewnecks and socks ( as they are seregated in Him and Her.)

We offer a range of sizes (typically S through L, to accommodate different body types. Be sure to check our size chart for specific measurements, and if you have any doubts just ask – we’re happy to help everyone find the right fit.

Yes! All NOPA caps.
both the classic baseball caps and the quick-dry sports caps are one-size-fits-most with an adjustable strap in the back.

You can easily tighten or loosen the strap to get a snug, comfortable fit.

This means our caps work for nearly all head sizes, from older kids through adults.

Whether you’re wearing it forwards or backwards, you’ll get a secure fit that stays put during play.

Our Yoga Set is a matching two-piece outfit: a supportive sports bra-style top and a pair of high-waisted leggings.

Both pieces are made from our soft, stretchy quick-dry fabric similar to the brands you love and trust all to keep you comfortable during yoga, workouts, or padel warm-ups.

The top provides light support and coverage, and the leggings are "squatproof" with a flexible waistband.

The set is designed to move with you, no slipping or adjusting all so you can focus on your session or game.

It’s a perfect combo for training or even lounging and lets be realistic the casual supermarket runs.
