If you’re new to The Padel School, welcome. We’re Sandy and Tom Farquharson - two brothers and the founders of this platform.

Our mission? To give every padel player the best coaching advice possible so you can unlock your full potential on the court.

Here’s why we care so much about this…

We grew up in tennis, competing from juniors all the way to the pro level. And honestly? It was frustrating. No matter how hard we worked, it was nearly impossible to get the high-quality coaching we needed to reach our full potential.

When we discovered padel over a decade ago, we fell in love with the sport instantly. But guess what? The coaching situation was even worse. Getting solid advice in English? Forget it.

That’s when we decided enough was enough.

As we played on the pro padel circuit and started coaching players across the globe, we realised no player should have to struggle to find clear, actionable guidance – in any sport.

Every player deserves access to the knowledge they need to grow, improve, and play the game at their highest level.

So we built The Padel School. It’s where we share everything we’ve learned on and off the court. Whether you’re a total beginner or chasing a competitive edge, we’re here to make sure you get the coaching we wish we’d had.

To all the padel warriors out there: the road to improvement isn’t easy, but that’s what makes it rewarding.

Keep grinding, keep learning, and remember – every point is a new opportunity to get better.
