On the physical, tactical and technical tools for coaching female padel workshop, you’ll explore the differences and similarities between the sexes and work through activities that all women and girls can and should do. Learn how coaching interventions, across tactical and technical areas, should be informed by knowledge of the female anatomy.  

Learning Objectives: 

• Understand the female body and how to maximise technical and tactical effectiveness and efficiency through simple interventions.   
• Learn why and how to teach female players the importance of controlling space tactically 
• Explore female overheads: why, what, and how 

This five-hour practical workshop is a must for padel coaches who want to help female players maximise their potential and minimise risk of injury. It also provides great learning for players, especially women, who want to ensure that they are on track physically, tactically, and technically with their own padel journey.
