7 Training Tips to Take Your Padel Game to the Next Level

Padel is one of the fastest-growing sports – and for good reason: It combines action, technique, and teamwork. But to be successful in the long run, you need more than just fun. Here are 7 effective training tips to help you improve your padel game.

1. Train legwork

Fast reactions and short sprints are crucial. Integrate exercises such as sidesteps, short sprints, or jumping exercises into your training. This will make you more agile and confident at the net.

2. Vary the striking technique

Not every ball needs to be played with full power. Work on different types of shots like the bandeja or vibora to control your game and put pressure on your opponents.

3. Master Serve & Return

Regularly practice targeted serves and returns. Give yourself and your partner specific target zones to improve precision and accuracy.

4. Use the walls

The back wall is your friend. Practice consciously returning the ball over the wall to bring calm to longer rallies.

5. Strengthen communication

Padel is teamwork. Communicate clearly with each other ("mine", "yours"), especially during net attacks or lob balls. A well-coordinated team wins more points.

6. Build strength and stability

A strong core and powerful legs are the foundation. Focus on core training (planks, Russian twists) and leg strength (squats, lunges) to prevent injuries.

7. Develop tactical understanding

Analyze games, observe opponents, and position yourself cleverly. Often, the right tactics win, not brute force.

Conclusion

Regular paddle training is key to improving in the long term. Focus on a combination of technique, tactics and fitness – and above all: have fun playing the game.
