Move better, read the game earlier, and stop losing points you had already won. One-to-one or in a small group, with a PadelMBA certified coach who has spent more than ten years coaching in Dubai.
Most people who book a padel session think they need a better shot. Usually they need to be somewhere else, half a second earlier. Padel is played in a small box with walls, which means the point is decided less by how hard you hit and more by where you were standing when the ball arrived — and whether you and your partner were standing there together.
That is what these sessions work on first. Not because technique does not matter, but because a better backhand played from the wrong position is still a lost point, and because position is the part that improves fastest.
Sessions are shaped around your level and what you want to improve, so there is no minimum. A first session with someone who has never held a padel racket looks nothing like a session with a player who competes and keeps losing the same kind of point — and both are normal.
If you have played tennis, expect to spend the first session unlearning something. The grip transfers, the instinct to step back from the wall does not.
Both exist. For padel specifically, coaching a pair is often the better use of the hour: most of what decides a point is the relationship between two players, and that is difficult to coach one player at a time. If you play regularly with the same partner, bring them.
Small groups also run. Group size is kept small enough that everyone hits; ask when you enquire and you will be told the number for that session.
In person in Dubai. Courts are arranged when the session is booked — tell me where you normally play and we will start there.
Coach Gari is co-founder and Head of Padel of District 267, a premium padel and wellness club in Gaborone, and he leads its operations and coaching academy. Born in Dubai, built in Botswana: four covered courts for year-round play, a clubhouse with a café and lounge, and PadelMBA-certified coaching programmes.
The coaching there follows the same priorities as every session on this page — position before power, the pair as one unit, and a game that people of every level can pick up in an afternoon and keep improving at for years. What is learnt on court in Dubai goes into District 267, and the other way round.
The striking needs a court. The thinking does not. Match footage can be reviewed on a call, and that is frequently where the pattern shows up: the same position lost, the same shot chosen under pressure, the same two seconds where the pair drifted apart. It is the cheapest hour of padel coaching you will ever buy, and it works from anywhere.
No. Sessions are shaped around your level and what you want to improve, so a first session can start with how to hold the racket and where to stand — or with why you keep losing the point after a good serve.
Sixty minutes on court, whether one-to-one or in a small group.
Yes, and for padel it is often the better choice. Most of what decides a padel point is the relationship between two players — who takes the middle, who covers the lob, when you both move forward. That is hard to coach one player at a time.
Not the striking, which needs a court. But match footage can be reviewed on a call, and that is often where the pattern shows.
Price is given on request, because it depends on whether the session is one-to-one or a group, and on the court. Ask through the booking page and you will have a figure before anything is booked.
Bring one if you have one. If you do not, say so when you book and it will be sorted before you arrive.
Tell me your level, who you play with and what keeps going wrong. The first session starts from there rather than from a syllabus.
