Padel Coach A-course (English)

The course Padel Coach A is specifically meant for experienced padel players who want to improve their own skills and have the ambition to help players at a recreational and a beginning performance level to get on with their game. Leading experts contribute to this course that is approved by NOC*NSF.

The course consists of the following subjects:

  • General padel knowledge
  • Technique and tactics
  • Pedagogy (how to coach)
  • Methodology (how to coach)
  • Biomechanics and motor learning
  • Safety (first aid, CPR, knowledge of materials)
  • Juniors

Safety and juniors are new subjects that help to better prepare future coaches for their jobs. First aid and CPR are a big plus to ensure the safety of your players. With proper knowledge of materials you can provide your players with advice to avoid injuries and to ensure safety. Besides, we expect padel to keep growing and we expect more juniors to start playing. Out on the courts coaches look for more information on how to coach juniors and KNLTB wants the course to keep track with the growth of padel.
