The question of real level of players This remains a sensitive subject in amateur padel. Between approximate self-assessment and the absence of a clear benchmark outside of official competition, skill gaps are frequent on the courts, with a direct impact on the quality of play and shared enjoyment.
Dance what contexts, Next Point has developed a online level test , free and fast, designed to offer a objective evaluation This test assesses your playing level, outside of any medical or federation framework. Accessible in just a few minutes, it aims to meet a concrete need: to better assess your level before a session, tournament, or training camp.
A lack of reference points among non-competitive players
While ranked players have a clear federal framework, the majority of players compete outside of official competitions. In France, as well as abroad (Switzerland, Belgium in particular), the lack of common reference framework for non-competitors complicates the formation of homogeneous groups.
Result:
- unbalanced parties,
- players in difficulty
- and sometimes a shared frustration on the ground.
The test developed by Next Point aims to provide a structured response to this problem.
A structured level test based on the player's profile
Le Next Point level test accessible on niveau.nextpoint-padel.com , is based on several courses adapted to the player's profile:
- FFT Competitor : direct correspondence with the official ranking
- Non-competitive player in France : evaluation based on playing habits, experience and situations encountered
- International player (Switzerland, Belgium…): adaptation to local standards
Each route displays a distinct reliability level acknowledging the difference between a ranked player and an informal self-assessment. The goal is not to compare, but to to situate the level of play in a consistent manner .
The test is free , efficient (approximately two minutes) and can be done no registration required .
A tool used in practice during Next Point internships
Beyond individual assessment, this test is integrated into the organization of Next Point padel training courses offered in several destinations such as Malaga, Valencia, Marrakech, Porto or Saint-Tropez .
Next Point coaches use it in particular for:
- Form groups of similar ability levels from the start of the internship
- Track progress players throughout the stay
- Validate the actual level at the end of the internship , with identification of strengths, areas for improvement and potential for progress
This approach aims to ensure balanced playing conditions and an environment conducive to progress.
A simple approach for a collective challenge
Without claiming to replace official rankings, the Next Point test is part of a logic of player empowerment Knowing your true level allows you to approach sessions, tournaments or training courses with more accuracy, to the benefit of all playing partners.
Before registering for or resuming competition, take two minutes to assess yourself can help improve the collective experience on the field.
