Padel - Barcelona

GENERAL OBJECTIVES OF OUR PADEL PROGRAMS

We know that you will come basically with one or some of these 3 objectives:

Become a professional padel player.
Improve your padel level as much as possible and enjoy a great week.
Have an unforgettable Barcelona vacation playing and learning your favourite sport.

We have our own system ES program that covers all kinds of players. But we adapt our training weekly program to your needs depending on your objectives and your padel level.
So, the minimum goals we set for all our clients are:

Technically
Tactically
Player mind

You will learn and you will practice every day how to hit all padel shots from the easiest to the most difficult ones: serving, forehand, backhand, lob, “chiquita”, after the rear wall, after lateral wall, after 2 walls, forehand volley, backhand volley, smash, “bandeja”, “vibora”, “bajada de pared”, “contrapared”, dropshots.
You will learn or improve your body position, your padel racket grip, and all your movements from the moment you prepare until you have finalised your shot.
The best way to quickly improve technically is repeating all shots with baskets of balls under the constant watch and advice of our head coach.

In our system we focus a lot on your court position and the choice of your shot. This is something that even average players still need to improve a lot.
We will practise these playing points, beginning with service or beginning on the defence or the attack position depending on the needs that the head coach considers most productive.

When training with baskets, most of us play better than in matches.
We plan matches in the afternoon not only for enjoying the game, but also for giving you real situations when playing tournaments or friendly matches.
You’ll again get advice from the coach about position on the court, choice of the shots, and how to minimize or even get strength on the most stressed points to play.
