You got good fast.Then you stopped.
Two coaches.One philosophy.
Every session follows the same coaching principles, clear feedback and structured progression. Choose the coach that fits you best, or train with both.
MidgeVisser
MidgeVisser
Midge coached tennis for fifteen years before padel took over. He plays four years now, coaches three, and made the switch because nowhere do players improve as fast. He competes most weekends, currently around #170 in the Netherlands, with a place in the top 100 as next year’s goal. He holds the KNLTB Padelleraar A diploma.
IvoHoedt
IvoHoedt
Ivo is a teacher by profession. He studied sports education at CIOS and ALO and spent years as a PE teacher in secondary school, guiding every kind of student and explaining technique so it lands. He came to padel from tennis, plays four years now and has coached it for two.
The First Hour
The glass first. It is the part that is not tennis, and everything else is built on it.
- First
- A trial session, so we can see where you actually are.
- We work on
- Format
- Private to start. Fundamentals become habits fast, and a habit is far cheaper to build than to unpick.
A simple system. Real progress.
Know your real level
See what holds your game back and leave with a clear plan for what to improve first.
Break old habits
Replace rushed decisions and unreliable technique with habits you can trust under pressure.
Build consistency
Train until the right choices become automatic, then bring them into real matches and refine them.
Climb the rating
Play better. Win more points. The rating takes care of itself.
Aggressive. Decisive.
Covers the middle, plays every overhead, and decides when the point ends.
- 01The bandejaTheir lob comes over the middle. You take it out of the air and keep the net instead of handing it back.
- 02The víboraA lob that came up short. Cut across it and it dies at their feet. This is where pressure turns into a point.
- 03The smashThe one that is not coming back. Everything else on this side exists to earn it.
Calm. Consistent.
Defends first, keeps the ball in play, and builds the point until it is there to be won.
- 01The backhand volleyThe ball comes through the middle. Block it deep, give them nothing, and the rally is still yours.
- 02The lobThe reset. It pushes them off the net and buys your pair the time to get back in position.
- 03Playing the diagonalCross court, again, and again, until they miss. On this side patience is the shot.
Two jobs. Two kinds of player.
Neither is the better side. They are two temperaments, and a coach can see which one is yours inside an hour on court.
Book a sessionNone of that was talent. All of it is trainable.
Every point is a series of decisions: where to stand, when to slow the rally down, when to attack, and when to wait. That’s what we train every session.
We train until the better decision becomes your first instinct.

Playershome Amsterdam
Padel team events and offsites in Amsterdam.
Eight to sixty people, both head coaches. Five quick questions and the message writes itself.
Hey, we would love to help you set up your padel event. How many of you are coming?
A coach replies, not a form. Fixed price and a VAT invoice within 48 hours.
The questions we get most.
Yes, always. The price you see covers the coach, the court and the balls. You never pay extra at the desk.
With the trial session. In 60 minutes a head coach maps your game and tells you exactly which format fits you. For an official rating, book a Levelling Session in the Playtomic app: a coach assesses your shots on court and your rating is updated within five working days.
Yes. Padel is the easiest racket sport to pick up, and most beginners are rallying within their first session. Book a trial session and we take it from there.
Both head coaches train every level. After your trial session we match you on goals, schedule and playing style. Above a 6 rating, Midge is usually the call.
No. Come alone and we place you with players at your level. Already have a duo, trio or four? Bring them and keep your group.
Both, at full comfort level. Tell us your preference when you book and the whole session runs in that language.
At Playershome Amsterdam. Indoor courts, so weather never cancels a session, and easy to reach by bike or car.
Sportswear and clean court shoes. Rackets and balls are on us, every session, not just the first one.
Yes. Clinics, tournaments and team events from eight colleagues up, run by both head coaches. You get a proposal within 48 hours.
