The great coach  Severino Iezzi  (Seve) tells us everything about how to build a pair:

I was born and raised in Mar de Plata, the cradle of padel. In this city, padel is very popular and has produced great players (Cristian Gutiérrez, Juan Martín Díaz, Leo Padovani and many others).

I give lessons at the Golf Canal, and lead the methodological part of the Get Indoor school. Finally, I am the coach of WPT number 3 pair Matías Díaz and Maxi Sánchez.

Choose the ideal pair or build the best pair:

In this article I will try to help you build a pair of padel. I specify that this note aims at social padel, so I am referring to amateur players.

  1. Set my true level

It is very important to be realistic with your own level of play. This way there will be less frustration for both players. This will make it easier to find a partner who has the same ambitions.

  1. Similar or similar ages

Being a partner in padel is much more than in many other sports. So it is better to be friends and have common relationships and interests. Obviously there are pairs with big age differences that work but it is a general feeling that I have seen in my career.

  1. Complicité

To form a team, you have to be an accomplice. It is therefore recommended to share something other than the moments spent on the field.

  1. Geographical and socio-cultural proximity

To get a pair that works, she has to train regularly. However, partners who do not live in the same place can make it difficult to perform these practices and games.

  1. Position in the field

This is an important point as we are always looking for a partner that complements our own shortcomings and allows the team to be stronger.

Our preference will always be for a player who plays on the opposite side to ours, but it is always recommended to learn to play on both sides of the field.

The reason is not only to learn to learn, but there may be side changes during a point.

The help of a padel teacher can also help me target the partners I need. The teacher will be able to validate my padel level and thus target partners with the same level. Then, we can filter potential partners based on their age, my complicity with them, which side they play on, etc.

To conclude, we must never forget that we play padel for fun. That is the main objective.
