I provide Padel coaching for groups, corporate events, individuals and pairs looking to have fun and/or take their game to the next level. I will pass on my vast experience and successes in sport to help players whether you want to compete or simply play for fun. I coach in Brighton and Hove and primarily at Hove Beach Park courts right by the seafront. It’s a fantastic venue to learn and train and play. I have completed the PadelMBA coaching qualification and previously coached for years at Tennis, Football and Beach volleyball. I have been highly successful in the tournaments I have competed in and am already transferring over the technique and tactics needed to be successful.

Padel in Brighton
Brighton is one of the UK's most active padel cities outside London, fuelled by a health-conscious, sports-loving population and a thriving racket sports scene. The city's proximity to London — just 50 minutes by train — means it benefits from spill-over demand from players who learned the game in the capital. Courts have opened across Brighton and the adjacent city of Hove, with indoor and outdoor options available year-round. All coaches in our Brighton directory hold LTA (Lawn Tennis Association) certification, the UK's official standard for padel coaching at Level 1 to Level 3. Private padel lessons in Brighton typically run £30–£60 per hour, in line with other major English cities outside London. Group sessions are widely available from around £12–£20 per person. Brighton's padel scene benefits from its strong tennis heritage — several clubs that built their reputations around tennis have added padel courts in recent years. The city also has a large young professional population and a university community that brings energy and new players to the sport each year. Coaching demand is strong across all levels, from total beginners to competitive club players. Whether you're visiting Brighton for a session or looking for a regular coach, the directory below covers LTA-certified padel coaches across Brighton and Hove.
Why padel in Brighton?
- →London spill-over market: Brighton is only 50 minutes from London by train, and many players who first encountered padel in the capital have returned home and fuelled demand for local coaching — the result is a market that skews more experienced than other cities its size.
- →Strong tennis-to-padel conversion: Brighton's tennis clubs in Hove, Preston Park, and Portslade have added padel courts to their existing facilities, creating a ready-made player base of racket sport converts who pick up the game quickly.
- →Coastal outdoor play plus year-round indoor options: Brighton's mild southern coastal climate extends the outdoor padel season longer than most UK cities, while indoor facilities ensure coaching availability even in winter — one of the UK's most weather-resilient padel markets.

What Is Padel?
Padel is a racket sport played in doubles on an enclosed court with walls. It combines elements of tennis and squash and is one of the fastest-growing sports in the world.
Padel Rules: How the Game Works
Padel rules are simple to learn. Played in doubles on an enclosed court, the game uses tennis scoring and allows the ball to bounce off walls after hitting the ground.
Padel Equipment: What You Need to Play
To play padel you need a padel racket, padel balls, and appropriate footwear. The racket is solid (no strings) with holes, and the balls are slightly softer than tennis balls.
The Bandeja: Padel's Essential Overhead
The bandeja is a controlled overhead shot in padel used to maintain net position. It's one of the most important shots in the game and a must-learn for intermediate players.
The Golden Point: Padel's Sudden Death Rule
The golden point is the sudden death point played at deuce (40-40). One team serves, and the receiving team chooses which side to return from. The team that wins the point wins the game — no advantage.
Wall Play in Padel: How to Use the Walls
Wall play is what makes padel unique. After a ball bounces on your side, it can hit the back or side wall — and you can still play it. Mastering the walls transforms your defensive game.
