Every season the same thing happens: players fly in, train five days in a row, and go home knowing things that normally take months to learn. It is not magic. It is concentrated ball volume, with someone correcting every shot and without the routine of your usual club.
Quick answer: a 5-session week (one per day) on a 100% indoor court at Elite 22 (Paterna), from 45 € per session with the court included. The full week starts at 225 €. Available in English, with help on accommodation and transport, and I hold your dates with a deposit.
1. What it is and who it is for
This is not a summer camp or a one-off lesson with a coach who does not know you. It is a closed block of work built for you, designed for people who:
- Come from abroad and want to make the trip count: five days, five sessions, and going home with clear homework.
- Live nearby but have a free week (holidays, a long weekend, before a tournament) and want a real push.
- Are about to compete and need to sort out their head: which shot, at which moment, and why.
I usually run it as one-to-one, because that is where every minute counts. If you come with your partner, a friend or an organised group, we set it up as a pair or a group and the price per person drops. And if there is a group at my school at your level, I add you in so you also train with local players.
2. What the week looks like, day by day
Each session lasts 60 minutes and has a purpose. I do not improvise: the week is designed once I know your level and what you want to achieve.
- Day 1 — Diagnosis. I film you, watch you play and find the two or three mistakes that are holding you back. Without that, training is guesswork.
- Days 2 and 3 — Technique and base. Work on those mistakes with the ball machine and video, so you can see what you cannot feel.
- Day 4 — Tactics. Positioning, transitions, wall exits and decisions. This is where matches are won, not with the flashy shot.
- Day 5 — Wrap-up and homework. Review, final video and a plan so you keep improving when you are back at your club.
3. The price, and why it is worth it
What it costs
Sessions start at 45 € and include coach and court: no surprises when you arrive. Five sessions start at 225 € for the week. If you come as a pair or a group, it is split and costs less per person. We agree the package before you book your flight, so you know exactly what you are paying.
The maths almost nobody does
In London, hiring a padel court costs between £20 and £100 per hour depending on the club, with an average of about £46 (roughly €55). Central clubs at peak times go well above that.
Think about the comparison for a second: there you pay that just for the court, with nobody correcting you. Here, for less than an hour of court hire in London, you get court and coach for a full hour. And if you come for a week, you get five sessions for what three or four games would cost you back home, with nobody teaching you anything.
"Many people do not just come to play padel. They come to train the way padel is trained here, on an indoor court all year round and with a coach who does this for a living." — Manu Carrilero
Note: London prices are reference figures from 2026 clubs and vary widely by area, time slot and court type. They are compared with court hire, not with the price of a coach there, which is considerably higher.
4. I help you with the logistics
The part nobody tells you when planning a trip like this: it is not only about training, it is about sleeping close by, arriving without a car and not losing half a day in transfers.
Accommodation
I tell you which areas suit you depending on your budget and whether you are driving. I take no commission and I am not selling you a hotel: I save you the two hours of searching and the mistakes of booking far from the club.
Getting to the club
Elite 22 is in Paterna and you can reach it by metro from Valencia city centre in about 20-25 minutes, with free parking if you prefer to drive. I will give you the line, the stop and the walking time. Many students stay in the centre and come by metro every morning.
What to do in Valencia between sessions
I suggest things based on what you enjoy: eating well, seeing the city, joining open matches or watching high-level padel. And if you come in March, during Las Fallas, some people plan the whole trip around it: Fallas in the morning, padel or a tournament in the afternoon.
5. Coaching in English
Yes, the whole programme can be done in English. I am not an English teacher: I am a padel coach who delivers the session in English, and I do it several times a week with international students. I understand exactly what you tell me and I make myself understood when correcting.
I am being honest so you do not expect a Cambridge certificate: if your English is functional, the lesson works. When a concept is technical, I explain it with the racket in my hand, which is the language everybody understands.
6. How to book and hold your week
Dates are secured with a deposit: a minimum of 50 € by Bizum or Revolut (up to 50% depending on the week and how far ahead you book). That holds those days in my diary and keeps them off the market. The rest is paid when you start.
As for when to come: there is no real high season here, because the weather is good almost all year. Most people come from March to October, and Las Fallas is the peak. Even so, in November I am already holding February weeks, so my advice is simple: tell me your dates as early as you can and I will tell you what is free.
