Who can benefit from private coaching?
Private padel lessons are not just for learning the basics. If you compete or play regularly, you can enquire about private coaching to address a specific difficulty, review match decisions or coordinate with your partner. In Málaga, Carmen Castillón Padel Academy offers one-to-one coaching and options for pairs or private groups, subject to availability.
02
One-to-one, playing partners or a private group
One-to-one coaching focuses on your own game. Training with your partner lets you work on shared goals such as positioning, communication and transitions from defence to attack. A private group suits players organising a session together, but explain everyone's level. Confirm participant numbers and how the work will be organised before booking: private does not always mean individual.
03
Bring a real situation from your matches
Rather than asking to improve everything, describe an observable problem: your bandeja leaves you out of position, your returns land short under pressure or you struggle to regain the net after a lob. These are examples of goals to discuss, not a fixed programme. Agree what to work on and how to assess your progress in match situations. One session does not guarantee a change in level.
04
Can I train personally with Carmen?
You can enquire about that option. Carmen Castillón is an active Premier Padel professional and Head Coach of her academy. Her participation is confirmed around tournaments; not every private lesson is with her. Ask whether Carmen or the academy team will coach you, and confirm the club. Coaching is in English. We do not publish an hourly rate for Carmen: enquire about the terms for your session.
05
What to include in your enquiry
Include your experience, playing frequency, goal, dates and whether you will train alone, with a partner or in a group. For ongoing training in Málaga, ask about weekly lessons. For several days of coaching and off-court activities, enquire separately about Padel Time Málaga experiences. Before confirming, ask for the format, duration, coach, club, price and terms. Submit your enquiry through the website form or official contact channels.
