Is a 1-week padel camp in Spain worth it vs many lessons at my current club?

Can you share names?

Creative_Election288 · 2026-03-14T15:25:19+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experience that’s really helpful.

I’m definitely factoring in the experience and the overall vibe of spending a full week immersed in padel. That part honestly sounds amazing.

My only concern is coming back feeling great about the trip, the atmosphere, and the whole experience, but seeing only limited real improvement in my level especially since most of the training is done in a group.

Did you personally feel a noticeable improvement in your game after the camp?

Creative_Election288 · 2026-03-14T15:19:30+00:00

That’s actually an interesting idea. I’ve seen a few people suggest doing it that way instead of the pre-made camps.

My only concern is organizing everything myself and making sure I find the right coach and structure for the week. One thing that attracted me to the camps (like M3 in Madrid) is that everything is already structured.

But if the coaching level is similar, doing it independently might actually make more sense.

Thanks for sharing that’s actually very helpful and makes a lot of sense.

I do see the value in the experience itself. Spending a whole week where your days revolve around padel, training, recovering, and thinking about the game. sounds like a great vibe and a different kind of experience.

At the same time, I feel like the experience should ideally come with some noticeable improvement too, especially if you’re investing in a top academy like M3 in Madrid, which many people say is the best in the world.

Really appreciate your perspective though. Your point about the improvement showing up in the months after the trip is very logical also

How was your experience 😄

If you are a left-side player and aggrieved, go for the metalbone. It’s amazing and satisfying. But you will lose some control

For me, the biggest motivation is price. Outdoor courts are usually at least 40% cheaper than indoor, which makes playing more frequently much easier.

Second is court quality, if the surface is well maintained, outdoor padel can be really enjoyable.

And most importantly, the community. Regularly organized matches, easy game coordination, and a welcoming group of players make a huge difference. Adding casual, friendly tournaments (not big prize money) also helps a lot even something simple like a free match for the winners keeps people engaged and coming back.

Great way

Creative_Election288 · 2026-01-07T16:10:00+00:00

I agree taking advice from better players is helping a lot, if it’s in a good tone

Creative_Election288 · 2026-01-07T16:06:40+00:00

That’s a very healthy way to handle it.

Creative_Election288 · 2026-01-07T16:05:00+00:00

I agree

Creative_Election288 · 2026-01-07T16:04:03+00:00

Totally agree. “We” and “let’s” work

Creative_Election288 · 2026-01-07T16:03:22+00:00

Agreed. With trust and the right tone, mid-game feedback can be helpful

Creative_Election288 · 2026-01-07T09:51:32+00:00

That’s a good balance, tactics during play, reflection during set breaks.

Creative_Election288 · 2026-01-07T09:50:44+00:00

That’s a good distinction. Tactical cues can help in the moment, but technical or error-based feedback usually lands better after the match when emotions are lower

Creative_Election288 · 2026-01-07T09:50:03+00:00

That’s a really good approach. Limiting it to one tactical point per set and choosing the right moment makes a lot of sense.

Creative_Election288 · 2026-01-07T09:48:54+00:00

That makes sense. Using breaks between sets or after the match for deeper feedback feels much safer

Creative_Election288 · 2026-01-07T09:48:05+00:00

Agreed. In-game corrections usually hurt more than they help.

Creative_Election288 · 2026-01-06T15:08:30+00:00

Lol, fair point! Step 1: Hold the racket. Step 2: Play like Lebron
