How to communicate with your partner during a padel game

Main idea

Use short calls such as “mine”, “yours”, “leave” and “switch”. Call early, especially on balls through the middle.

What to practise

Before the match, agree who covers common situations like lobs and central balls.

Key takeaways

Keep feedback short and positive. Talk about the next point, not only the last mistake.
