Frequently Asked Questions

• What are Agility Ladders?

  Agility ladders are flat, portable footwork tools that are designed to help improve foot speed, coordination, and balance. The idea of agility ladders is that they help you train and build your stamina in fast footwork, whilst allowing you to have better control over your movements and coordination.

• How can a balance board help me improve my padel game?

  When playing padel, you need to make quick movements constantly, which can put a lot of pressure on your ankles, knees, and hips. Balance boards help you train by forcing your body to make quick micro-adjustments, further strengthening these joints. Not only does this help you reduce the risk of injury, but it can also help you improve your lateral movements and quick lunges with ease.

• What padel fitness and footwork items do I need to start teaching padel?

  When teaching padel, there are a few items we recommend purchasing. These items are designed to help improve your students’ footwork, help relieve muscle tension, and help visualise key areas on the court. 

  • Agility ladders: These help improve footwork and coordination. 
  • Saucer cones or marker cones: These are designed to help you create drills for your students, which can help with agility
  • Massage roller: As your students train, their muscles can become tight and sore. Massage rollers help relieve this stress and help loosen their muscles after training.
