The Padel School Podcast

Play First vs. Learn First: What’s the Best Approach in Padel?

Sandy Farquharson

When picking up padel, should you jump straight into playing, or take time to learn the fundamentals first? In this episode, we explore the Play First vs. Learn First debate and how each approach shapes your development as a player.

We’ll discuss the benefits of diving right into matches versus building a strong technical foundation first, and which method might be best for different types of players. Whether you're new to padel or looking to refine your learning process, this episode will help you find the right balance between practice and play.
