Padel Coaching Courses
LTA Padel Coaching Pathway
Tennis or padel coaching is a fun, exciting and highly rewarding way for people of all ages and abilities to get more involved in the game, but where do you get started? From these, you can go on to undertake further qualifications or training to specialise more in grassroots tennis, performance tennis or coaching a specific audience such as youth, adults or disability.
We have four different entry points into coaching – each targeted at different people: LTA Youth Tennis Leaders (young people aged 11-18), Pre, LTA Assistant (women), LTA Assistant (Level 1) and LTA Padel Instructor.
Course duration and structure
There are two separate components to LTA Qualifications: Training and Assessment.
- Training: The LTA Padel Instructor course consists of five days of face-to-face training, separated by a minimum of four weeks. This allows time for eight hours’ work experience and coursework completion).
- For the LTA Padel Instructor course, the five days of learning are split into core and elective days. There are four days of core training and one day of elective. You will need to be successful in your application to be considered for the Core Training – elective training is booked (and paid for) on the LTA Course Search Tool.
- Assessment: Final assessments are conducted during a real-life lesson of your choice, at a padel venue of your choice. Assessments are recorded by you (using smartphone equipment) and then submitted virtually by video upload. For more details please see the Assessments page.
