The expert's opinion
Unlike France, Spain uses levels ranging from 1 to 7. To participate in our padel courses, you must already be familiar with the sport = have a minimum Spanish playing level of 2.
- 1. Beginner: I have just started, I have no experience in racket sports.
- 2. Copper: I sometimes go to the net but I don't really know how to play with the walls and I make a lot of mistakes.
- 3. Bronze: I come to the net and sometimes manage to play with the walls, but I am very inconsistent in the game.
- 4. Silver: I control the direction of the ball and am able to play with both walls.
- 5. Gold: I control the speed of the ball, I vary my playing style, the spin and the playing tactics.
- 6. Regional: I have a ranking equivalent to the top 200 in my country, I have mastered all the moves.
- 7. National: I have a level equivalent to the top 20 in my country and I have already played on the professional circuit.
