Junior performance programme.
A structured long-term development programme helping young players grow physically, technically, tactically and mentally. From R200 per hour.
More than hitting the ball.
Each session lasts 60–120 minutes depending on the training programme, based on ability and age, and combines athletic performance, tactical and technical development, and competitive match play.
We are not only teaching children how to hit the ball. We are teaching them to understand the game.
Three strands. One session.
Athletic performance
Strength, balance, coordination, speed, agility and explosive movement specific to padel.
Tactical & technical
Correct shot mechanics, positioning, movement patterns, glass play, volleys, lobs, bandeja, vibora and match situations.
Competitive match play
Guided game-based scenarios that teach players to apply skills under pressure rather than simply rallying.
What they actually learn.
Court awareness
Where to stand and how to move efficiently.
Decision-making
When to attack, defend, lob, reset or transition to the net.
Game understanding
Recognising patterns, reading opponents and building points intelligently.
Emotional control
Managing confidence, frustration, pressure and communication with a partner.
Every session follows the same progression.
Build consistency
Through cooperative repetition.
Add pressure
Different speeds, heights and directions.
Develop decisions
Players choose the correct tactical option.
Apply it
Competitive games that reward smart padel, not just power.
A journal, not just a scoreboard.
Players complete a simple pre- and post-session journal to build awareness of how they feel physically and emotionally, what they did well, what they found difficult, and what they improved since last time. This encourages confidence, accountability and a growth mindset.
Juniors transition from ball hitters to thinking padel players who understand:
- What happened?
- Why did it happen?
- What should happen next?
Great young players are developed through consistent habits, intelligent coaching and meaningful competition.
Our aim is not only better padel players, but children who build discipline, resilience, confidence and a lifelong understanding of the game.Ages, session length and scheduling vary by ability — message Coach Hasan for details.
