The 7+1 Overheads in Padel

This 7+1 Overheads in Padel workshop is for any coach who wants to better understand the variety of overheads in the game and equip themselves with the knowledge to teach them. 

Learn the tactical and technical secrets behind the 7+1 overheads in padel; how to observe and analyse them, and how to teach them. In tennis there is one overhead – the smash; in padel, there are 8. They are also one of the most common shots in padel, with roughly a quarter of strokes being overheads. Find out why there’s such a variety, and why learning a combination of them is so important for player development. To finish, you’ll also take away a series of games and drills that you can use with players to develop the overhead strokes.

On the course, you will: 

• Explore the difference between technical style and technical fundamentals for padel overheads
• Understand why the Bandeja is the most important overhead, and how to coach it through game-based coaching
• Learn what the eight overheads in the game are, why a player would hit them, and how a player can execute them
