Padel course

Try a mix between tennis and squash with our Padel course! 

Padel is one of the fastest growing and most popular new sports in the Netherlands. Padel is played with 4 people on a padel field which is surrounded by glass walls. The sport is easy to start with and with our 10-weeks course you will learn the basics of padel. You will develop your skills and improve yourself over time. 
If you already have experience with Padel, the advanced course might be more interesting for you! Check all the info about the courses below.

  • Padel beginners

    You have little to no experience playing Padel. You still need to learn the basic strokes, rules of the game, and how to develop both offensive and defensive strategies from the ground up. If you’ve never taken a lesson before and are unfamiliar with Padel strokes like the forehand, backhand, serve, lob, Bandeja, Vibora, Chiquita, and smash, or if you don’t know the rules and how to use the walls, and have little to no experience in match play where technique and tactics are crucial for both offense and defense, then this is the right course for you.

    After the first or second training, the trainers will assess whether you have the skill level for this course and may determine you need to be reassigned to another course that is better suited to your level. It is important that you register to the course that suits your level, as transfer is not always possible (that course may already be full).

  • Padel advanced

    You have already completed several training sessions and have mastered all the basic strokes and scenarios of the game. You are capable of playing defensively with a lob and offensively with a scoring volley or smash. You understand how the ball rebounds off the walls from every angle and can adjust your footwork and positioning accordingly.

    You can only register for this course if you are an experienced and skilled Padel player. This means that to enroll in this Padel course, you must have had previous Padel lessons, possess full control and proficiency in all key Padel strokes, and be thoroughly familiar with them, including forehand, backhand, serve, lob, Bandeja, Vibora, Chiquita, smash, the rules of the game, and how to play off the walls. Additionally, you should have experience in match play, where technique and tactics are essential for both offensive and defensive play.

    It is required that you know all the strokes and can execute them technically and effectively. If you are not familiar with these strokes or unable to perform them, we regret to inform you that you cannot participate in this Padel course. In that case, we recommend enrolling in the absolute beginners' Padel group, which is offered on Tuesdays.

    After the first or second training, the trainers will assess whether you have the skill level for this course and may determine you need to be reassigned to another course that is better suited to your level. It is important that you register to the course that suits your level, as transfer is not always possible (that course may already be full).
