Tactical Play is where coaching meets competition. These 90-minute sessions are designed for intermediate players who want to take what they've been learning and apply it where it matters most — in live match play.
Rather than stopping at technical drills, Tactical Play puts you into real points alongside your coach Russel, who rotates through match-play situations with the group, giving tactical feedback and guidance as the game unfolds. You'll work on reading the game, building points, moving as a team, and making better choices under pressure — all in the heat of actual play.
With a maximum of just three players per session, you get individual attention and plenty of court time. Russel is on court with you, not watching from the sideline — coaching during points, between rallies, and helping you understand why certain decisions work and others don't.
Each session is linked to the Shot of the Week from our Rise & Rally programme, so if you attend both, you learn the shot technically on Wednesday morning and pressure-test it tactically on Friday night. Each session stands on its own though — you don't need to do both.
If you're looking to become more confident in matches, make smarter decisions, and understand the game at a deeper level, this is the session for you.

Who It's For
Tactical Play is designed for intermediate players who want to improve the way they perform in real match situations. It's ideal for players who already understand the basic shots and rules of padel, want to move beyond drills into game-based learning, and are looking to become more confident and effective during matches. If you're playing in our Intermediate Padel events and want to sharpen the tactical side of your game, this is your session.
