Feeding is one of the most important practical skills for a Padel coach and is considered one of the most difficult components of the practical assessment for a Coach. The Coach must be able to feed the ball accurately to the appropriate position, direction, height, and speed in order to create suitable ball situations that allow learners to execute the correct technique and achieve the objective of the drill. During assessment, the Coach must simultaneously control feed quality, player position, drill tempo, and continuity of the session.
