Who Is Local Padel For?
You can contact us whether you are completely new or already play regularly.
New to Padel?
Padel is easy to begin, but a little guidance makes the first experience much more enjoyable.
Start with the basics
Beginners should first learn how to hold the racket, control the ball, serve underarm, position themselves with a partner and understand when the glass can be used.
A private or small-group lesson can help you begin with good habits instead of trying to learn everything during a competitive match.
Do not worry about equipment
Before your first session, ask whether a racket can be provided and what footwear is suitable.
Comfortable sports clothing, supportive shoes and water are the main essentials. Padel balls and rackets should always be confirmed before arriving.
