What is the reason for the growing trend of people taking up padel or pickleball instead of tennis? It is the same reason I put my daughter in tennis lessons at such an early age - the technique for tennis is very difficult to learn (therefore much easier as a child). It is almost impossible for an adult to start learning tennis and reach a high level (even to a collegiate level). Padel is easier to learn technically and therefore more enjoyable tactically at an earlier stage of the journey. Pickleball is similar, in that the technique is easier, but with less complexities in the tactics. Coaching an adult beginner how to serve in tennis is one of the most difficult lessons a coach has to deal with - I am glad the padel serve is simpler and they can enjoy the sport sooner! Anyone who has actually tried padel/pickleball that disagrees? For the full podcast: https://lnkd.in/eGXNHauF

As Chair of the Eastlink Community Hub, Hamilton's largest sporting hub, which is the home to racquet sports such as badminton, squash, & tennis, the article below on the rise of the popularity pickleball in the USA is an interesting read. As those of us who volunteer in the NFP sporting sector are aware; more people are choosing sports that are quicker to pick up, require less commitment, and are more social, rather than organised sports with fixed time commitments or requirements for teams or high levels of skill. Participation as a driver has become as important as performance. The rising popularity of pickleball here in Waikato is a shining example. The challenge for us involved in traditional racquet sports is to stay relevant and be aware of the emerging variants of our sports that are becoming trendy and a 'disruptor' to our current & traditional sporting models.

Should Padel Coaches in the UK play competitions? There are many people getting qualified in the UK as Padel Coaches or Instructors through various providers. In my experience of delivering Padel coaching qualifications, I would say under 10% of attendees are competing at an appropriate level (outside of their clubs social events or fixed 4s). As we grow Padel in the UK, my opinion is that those interested in becoming a Padel Coach must play appropriate regional / national competitions to improve their own Padel and therefore knowledge of the game. Coaches can learn something from every event they play. There is no such thing as perfect Padel and a lot of times winning ugly is required! Only by playing competitions can Coaches really get under the skin of the game and be able to provide the best insight to their players.

ENDANGERED 🚫 😔🚫The single-handed backhand has become a rare shot on tennis courts, facing the threat of extinction due to the changes in modern tennis. Slower surfaces and balls, increased physicality, and the pressure to develop perfect players from a young age have all contributed to the decline of the single-handed backhand. 🌟🤝🎾 At The One Academy, our mission is to cultivate true champions who possess character, personality, and a sense of responsibility for their actions. Making the transition from a double-handed backhand to a single-handed one requires courage, commitment and greater discipline from the coach, player, and parents who support this decision. 🎯We aim to encourage young players to explore the possibility of switching to a single-handed backhand if there is mutual interest and commitment from both the coach and the player. In a society driven by instant results, players and coaches often prioritize short-term gains over long-term development. ⏳💪📈 It is essential to remember that tennis is a marathon, not a sprint. 🎾🙌🌟 Do you support or oppose the development of the single-handed backhand with players under the age of 12?” #theoneacademy #theoneacademymethod #theoneacademysystem #tennistraining #tenniscamp #tennisacademyjapan #tennisacademyhongkong #tennisplayer #tennisclinic #tenniscourt #tennisdrills #tennisjapan

If you're an experienced tennis coach and you want to become a good padel coach, the first step is understanding that it is a different sport! There are too many coaches out there that think “It's just like tennis, so I'm going to teach it just like tennis.” You wouldn't do that in squash though, would you? You wouldn't go from coaching tennis to coaching squash overnight, so you shouldn't do the same with padel. The first step is understanding that it's a different sport. The second is getting a good understanding of the sport; learn it, play competitions, try and improve your game and have coaching yourself in the sport, so that you can understand the technique and tactics of the game. Padel is very different from tennis, so understanding the tactical side of the game is going to be an important building block. Then, the next step is to have good coach education and to understand how to deliver group lessons, and then practice those lessons, but all the time learning the game because that process is going to take years, not just a weekend. Are you a tennis coach interested in coaching padel? Or have you already made the transition? What advice would you give to aspiring padel coaches? #Sport #Padel #PadelTennis #ThePadelSchool #PadelTips #PadelLessons #PaddleTennis #GBpadel #WorldPadelTour #PadelVideos #PadelFun #PremierPadel #CoachPadel #OnlineCoaching

When we work with padel clubs, a question we seem to be answering a lot is: “Padel is easy to play, do I even need a coach at my padel club?” This is most often from club owners without a tennis or padel background and it is a valid question. The sport is easy to play, no doubt, it is why it has grown so quickly! The game lends itself to new players starting and quite often players will play dozens of times before looking for coaching advice. So initially to fill your peak hours you may not need a coach! BUT when it comes to filling those spaces from 9am-4pm during the week you will almost certainly need a good coach! AND when players start to plateau or want to improve their games they start looking for clubs with good coaches! If there’s one thing we have learned from the early padel adopters, it is that the clubs with decent coaching programs and events (put on by good coaches) are the ones that thrive (or in some cases survive)! Remember, that even if you don’t have competition now, it won’t be long until another club opens down your road! How important is good coaching to your club (whatever the sport)? #Sport #Padel #PadelTennis #ThePadelSchool #PadelTips #PadelLessons #PaddleTennis #GBpadel #WorldPadelTour #PadelVideos #PadelFun #PremierPadel #CoachPadel #OnlineCoaching
