First back-to-back padel certification ever

AFP Academy hosted a new Training Course for coaches in Miami.

The claim of AFP Academy and All Racquet Sports as the driving force behind padel in the USA is now a reality.

The hard work of the last few years is paying off and there are already almost 100 certified coaches in the country. In this unstoppable Padel movement in USA, on Feb 22-25 a new edition of the Certification was held at the Cliff Drysdale Tennis Center at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Key Biscayne (Miami).

For the first time ever, a back-to-back Padel Certification took place to get up to 13 more new coaches certified and there are almost 100.

Marcos del Pilar explained his experience this way: 

“Padel needs more ambassadors in North America.

We keep working very hard to provide coaches, players and fans an entire portfolio of resources to increase their knowledge of the sport as well as to improve their performance.

We help them to understand the game, how to teach the sport properly and the business model behind. 

Adidas padel and All racquet Sports have partnered with the USPTA and USPA with the clear goal of creating the largest community of Padel coaches and leaders all over the world. It also shows our commitment to the international development of the sport”. 

The energy and the atmosphere was outstanding and some of the attendees described their experience like these below:

Josh Suroswki (Director of Racquet Sports in Orlando):

“That was the most amazing experience! You delivered above and beyond. You truly inspired me as a professional. I am excited to start my padel playing and coaching journey!”

Daniele Piludu (ISAP International Director):

“I wanted to say THANK YOU for all your energy, love, passion, professionality and hospitality. The certification gave me so much more than I expected to receive, exceeding my expectations; and so thank you. I feel that I have a better understanding of the game, rules and business opportunities in regards to Padel” .

Julian Wortelboer (Ocean Club Director of Tennis):

“I’m so excited of taking this Course. I’ve learnt so so much. Incredibly informative! The level of knowledge that I got from Marcos was outstanding and top of the line. I’m really happy to be here and encourage everyone to jump into this Certification. AFP Academy doesn’t stop and the entire team is now getting ready for the next stage happening in Houston in March 8-9 with 7 attendees signed up yet.
