From October 23–26, 2020, the first Instructor International Level 1 course of the Padeltrainer Academy took place.
Under the motto “Not to learn how to play, but to teach padel…”, all relevant topics were covered during the intensive days — from A for Activation to Z for the Fence.

During approximately 15 hours of theory in the seminar room and around 12.5 hours of on-court practice, Head Coach Octavio Santana taught participants his specially developed training methodology.

For the first time in Europe, the complete content was compiled into two training manuals in German and handed over to the participants.

The final exam took place in December 2020, where participants demonstrated their knowledge and skills.
After successfully completing Level 1, graduates possess all the tools required to efficiently teach padel beginners and help advanced players progress to the next stage.
