Level-by-level program

Level 1 — Getting Started with Padel (4 weeks)

For those who have never played. Continental grip, ready position, basic forehand and backhand strokes, serve and return, how the wall works and the basic rules. By the end of the programme you'll be ready to join the social matches in Beytepe. If you'd like some background reading, what is padel and how to play and padel rules our articles are a good start.

Levels 2–3 — Development

This is where padel's signature shots come into play: bandeja, víbora, the lob, smash variations and wall play. Net positioning, defense–attack transitions and partner communication are the main topics of tactical lessons.

Level 4+ — Competition

Tournament preparation: match analysis, building a game plan, decision-making under pressure and mental toughness. At this level, physical preparation becomes a topic of its own; O’Wellness Beytepe fitness and conditioning area is used to build padel-specific strength-conditioning and injury-prevention work.

Kids & Junior Academy (ages 7–16)

Play-based learning by age group, coordination development and a fair-play culture. Run as weekend groups; it fits easily into the after-school and weekend schedule for families in Çayyolu, Ümitköy, Konutkent and İncek. For details, padel for children see our guide.

How does the first lesson go?

The first session starts with a level assessment: the coach observes your grip, footwork and ball reading and talks through your goals. Then comes basic stroke work and a short match practice. At the end of the lesson, you're given a development plan and a few drills to practice at home. If you're curious what to expect, what you'll learn in your first padel lesson our article walks through the lesson minute by minute.
