Become a certified padel coach with the Beyond Padel Coach — Level 1 Certification, a complete professional programme covering every dimension of modern coaching: technique, tactics, physical training, sports psychology, teaching methodology, technology, event management, and professional ethics. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
Analyse and correct every padel stroke — from grips and groundstrokes to wall exits, bandeja, víbora, smash and bajada — using a clear five-phase framework with common errors and corrections. Master movement, court positioning and pair coordination, and turn them into effective training drills. Plan sessions and full seasons: teaching methodologies, periodisation, ball feeding, and evidence-based physical and mental preparation. Run tournaments and club events (including Americano and Mexicano formats), grow club revenue, and build member loyalty. Coach professionally and safely: ethics, safeguarding, player privacy, and your own personal brand.
HOW IT WORKS The online classroom contains 10 modules and 27 chapters, each built from the official Level 1 manual, with 23 self-assessment quizzes (instant feedback, 60% pass mark). The full programme combines ~223 hours of learning: 17 h of online theory, 26 h of face-to-face workshops, and 180 h of supervised on-court practice with a mentor coach. CERTIFICATION Certification is earned through a five-part final evaluation — written test, session plan, ball-feeding exam, technical execution exam, and a 60-minute observed coaching session — each passed independently at 60%. Graduates are qualified to coach beginner and intermediate players in any padel setting. INTERNSHIP FOR THE BEST STUDENTS Participants who score 80% or higher in every final exam, with the approval of the Examination Committee, are eligible for a fully supported internship at the Prodigy Padel or Beyond Padel academies — hands-on experience alongside leading coaches, and a direct path into a professional coaching career.
