Don't like going to the net? So don't play padel. Going to the net is essential when playing padel. We'll tell you why.

1 / At the net, this is where you earn your points. The faster you play, the less time your opponents have to organize. They may make mistakes or offer you opportunities to complete the point. From the bottom of the court, you will not be able to squeeze your opponents, and it is they who will come to put pressure on you.

2 / It is better to trail uncomfortable at the net than uncomfortable at the bottom. Being permanently in a defensive position is not necessarily the most suitable position to win a game.

3 / Plus you will evolve, more it will be necessary to take the net and to be effective there. That means, work his balls. Your destiny is in front.

4 / We said at the net and not in the middle of the court! This is an error that we see regularly and that must be corrected as soon as possible, if you want to evolve. 2 possibilities are available to you.

  • Stay at the bottom of the court if you feel that you are late for the net.
  • Or anticipate and attempt an approach to the net as quickly as possible. Attention, it requires to have some qualities on the fly to be prepared to counter adverse offensives if you had not previously prepared your point.
