The Palaestra Method

Every session
has a purpose

Two coached sessions a day, video analysis and a tactical debrief every day, recovery built into the week. Florent Prelot, FIP 1400, is on court with you, and groups are matched by level so every session is played at your standard.

9Players maximumEvery player is selected and placed by level.
DailyVideo analysisFilmed sessions and a debrief every evening.
DailyRecoveryMobility, stretching and massage built into the week.

Coaching only. You book your flights and your stay, so you choose your budget and how long you stay.

Is this for you

A Palaestra week
is built for you if…

01You play regularly, and you can feel you have hit a plateau.

02You want coaching that corrects your game, not four hours of drills shared with sixteen people.

03You want to train with players at your own level, all week.

04You are willing to work hard for one week to make a jump your club will notice.

Groups are split by level. Every player has a short phone interview before a spot is confirmed, and we will tell you honestly if the week is not right for you yet.

Fantastic padel bootcamp. Full on sessions breaking down positioning, tactics, movement and hits. The video reviews and feedback are invaluable in accelerating the journey.

The training was highly individualized. They took the time to identify my specific strengths and weaknesses. I came away with a much better understanding of tactics and strategy that I can already feel making a difference.

Questions

Before you apply

How can I be sure I will play with people at my level?

Every player goes through a short selection before the week: your padel background, your ranking if you have one and your match experience. Our coaches review each profile and build balanced groups, so you train with partners who challenge you, not discourage you.

Is the experience suitable for my level?

Each participant is assessed beforehand and placed in a group of similar level. If the week is not right for you yet, we will tell you honestly.

I am coming alone, is that a problem?

Not at all. Most players come solo. The week is designed to create a group spirit from day one.

Do I need to book my own flight and hotel?

Yes. Flights and accommodation are not included, which leaves you free to choose your budget, your neighbourhood and how long you stay. We point you to where past players have stayed near the club and help you pick arrival and departure times that fit the programme.

What is included in the price?

Palaestra weeks are coaching only: the padel programme, coaching, courts, daily video analysis and recovery. Per person: Dubai €2,300 (5 days), Koh Samui €2,500 (7 days). Private weeks are quoted within 24 hours.

Is it mixed?

Yes. Groups are mixed and built by level.

What if I can’t make my week?

You never lose your place. If your plans change, your spot moves to the next Palaestra experience, free of charge. Tell us as early as you can so we can rebalance the groups.

What can I do after the week?

Many players stay a few extra days. We share our recommendations for where to eat, what to see and how to get around, and you can book extra private sessions if you want more court time.
