In many countries such as France, it is possible to teach padel as a tennis teacher, but does that mean you have the skills?

Of course, padel is a racket sport with a yellow ball that seems so similar to tennis! But it is when you enter a padel court with experienced players that you become aware of all the subtleties that are not very visible at first glance!

It's a bit like comparing windsurfing to kitesurfing... of course knowing how to play tennis gives many advantages to access padel more quickly, however it can also be a handicap! It's not always easy to reduce your major tennis preparations, to ignore your bad reflexes by wanting to play in open spaces, hard or even volleying when you're behind the white line!

To make the link between the two activities and thus be able to teach padel in a relevant way, the coach will need to appropriate different contents:

As a player:

  1. Learn to adapt your own tennis gestures through specific technical lessons for padel.
  2. Appropriate the playing area to better understand the strategies to be implemented and the need to adapt your technique through matches with experienced local players.

As a coach:

  1. Assimilate the learning chronology through the experiences of experienced coaches.
  2. Build up a repertoire of valid exercises according to the situations and profiles of the players concerned thanks to the observation and participation in the supervision of training of all levels and ages within a Spanish school as an assistant '' a French-speaking or English-speaking Spanish coach.

As a facilitator and coordinator of a padel school:

  1. Take note of all the ideas of fun activities and management of competitions appropriate to different types of public
