How to plan a week of padel training

Planning a week is not about filling every class with different exercises. First, establish who trains, when they train and which coach works with each group. That gives your plan a clear connection to the school's actual activity.

Review group schedules and assigned coaches. Then check which sessions need preparing and whether any changes need coordinating with the team. MiP's group list brings together the group name, schedule and coach.

Before choosing exercises, write down what each group should work on. A goal such as improving the start of the point helps you choose related tasks, rather than combining exercises simply because they are new.

Adapt the goal to the group. For a group training once a week, keep the session focused. For groups training more often, revisit the goal in different situations. The coach decides how to build continuity based on what happens on court.

For example, one session could focus on the serve and the next shot. A later session could revisit that work in game situations. This is an organisational suggestion, not a compulsory progression for every player.

With the goal defined, consider each exercise's level, player numbers, equipment, duration and organisation. A task that works on paper may not suit your group or the time available.

MiP includes a library of more than 1,500 exercises. Exercise sheets show details such as training block, category, level, objective and instructions. Use these to decide how each task contributes to your session.

The example screenshot describes a serve-plus-two-shots pattern for one to four players, with a suggested duration of ten minutes. It illustrates the detail you can review before adding an exercise; the coach adapts it to the group.

Organise the work into warm-up, main block and closing phase. Check that the tasks fit together and allow time to explain, set up and collect equipment as well as play.

In MiP's training view, coaches can review the class and the exercises assigned to its blocks. The plan can be checked before stepping on court and used for reference during the session.

If several coaches work with the same group, agree on the goal and how to maintain continuity. An organised session helps share the context, while communication between coaches remains essential.

A session prepared for four players may need adapting if only two take part. Review attendance confirmations beforehand and decide which parts of the plan need adjusting.

MiP connects the player's session view with the attendance coaches review. Players can check upcoming sessions and confirm attendance; coaches can consult planned attendance for their class.

Afterwards, distinguish between confirmed and actual attendance. Confirmations help you prepare; recording what happened lets you review the group's activity later.

This is a suggested workflow for the school team. It is not an automatic MiP schedule and does not mean that every group trains each day. Adapt review times to your timetable.

Planning is useful when it helps the team act with clarity. Check these points, leaving room to adapt sessions to what happens on court.
