Tactical Play Sessions are designed for players who want to take what they’ve been learning in coaching and apply it where it matters most — in live match play.
Running in a 1 hour 30 minute format, these sessions give intermediate players the chance to play real points alongside the coach while receiving live tactical feedback and guidance throughout the session. Rather than stopping at technical drills, Tactical Play helps players improve the way they read the game, build points, move as a team, and make better choices under pressure.
Each player will rotate through match-play situations with the coach, creating a more practical and game-focused learning experience. Coaches will help players better understand positioning, court coverage, shot selection, and how to respond to different scenarios as they unfold.
Each session is also linked to the Shot of the Week being taught in the Rise & Rally program and Padel Academy. This helps players bridge the gap between learning a shot technically and understanding how to use it effectively during real matches.
Tactical Play Sessions are ideal for players who already have the basics and now want to improve the strategic side of their game. If you’re looking to become more confident in matches, make better decisions, and understand the game at a deeper level, this is the session for you.
