Start2Padel
What?

Where?
At your own Arenal club
When?
Ongoing: several times a year. Check the Arenal App for the exact date.
What is it?
You’ll be introduced to the basics of padel: the forehand and backhand, how to play off the back wall, the volley and how to position yourself at the net.
No prior experience is required — Start2Padel is designed specifically for those who have never held a racket before.
An experienced coach will guide you step by step through a series of lessons, in a small group of beginners at the same level, so that nobody feels out of their depth amongst more advanced players. The programme is deliberately paced: first you’ll master the basic techniques, and only then will you move on to your first points and tactics.
Once you’ve finished, you can easily move on to a regular beginners’ course at the Arenal Academy, or simply book a court yourself and put what you’ve learnt into practice with friends or family.
