Finding a qualified coach, booking a lesson, better understanding your level and tracking your progress: that's Rainbow's promise. PadelLaunched in June 2026 on the App Store and Google Play, this new French application aims to create a direct link between players and coaches, while offering professionals a tool to manage and develop their business. 

A level that evolves over the course of the lessons

"What is my actual level?" The question has almost become a classic among padel players.

Between the official ranking, the level scales used in clubs and the sometimes approximate self-assessment of practitioners, it is difficult to always know precisely where you stand.

Rainbow Padel wishes to provide an answer to this problem.  After each lesson completed with a coach listed on the platform, the player can benefit from an assessment of their level and skills.  The sessions thus allow for the gradual development of a monitoring system to track one's progress.

The idea is to transform an impression – “I feel that I am progressing” – into data that allows the player to better visualize their journey.

From his profile, he can also  Find a coach based on your location and needs, check their availability, and book a lesson directly. The application is free for players to use.

Listing reserved for certified coaches

Another choice claimed by Rainbow Padel :  Only certified coaches can be listed on the application. .

This is a way to reassure practitioners about the qualifications of the people offering their services, but also to promote padel teaching professionals.

For the latter, Rainbow Padel wants to go beyond a simple booking platform.

Each coach has a professional profile where they can showcase their experience, rates, and availability. The goal is clearly to allow them to reach new players locally, but also to gain national visibility.

A cancellation policy has also been integrated in order to further protect the working time reserved by teachers.

Schedule, students, courses and income all in one place

The other focus of the project concerns the day-to-day management of the coaches' activities.

Rainbow Padel includes in particular  a calendar to centralize the organization of classes but also several features designed for student tracking, activity and accounting.

The aim is therefore to combine two uses in a single application:  finding new students and managing those we already support .

This positioning could be of interest to coaches whose activity is currently spread across messaging, calendars, personal files and various payment methods.
