Rodri Ovide Junior Summer Padel Camp

The Rodri Ovide Junior Summer Padel Camp is designed for young players who want to take their padel game to the next level in a high-performance environment.

Led by Rodri Ovide, the program combines technical and tactical development with physical preparation, recreational activities, and an international camp experience in Mallorca.

🧠 Training Methodology

Once again, the Rafa Nadal Academy opens its doors to young padel players who wish to enjoy an unforgettable experience at one of the world’s most prestigious high-performance sports centers, combining training, learning, and international coexistence.

Led by its Head of Methodology, Rodri Ovide, the Academy has designed a padel high-performance training camp aimed at players aged 12 to 18 who are looking for an elite experience, with training sessions adapted to their playing level.

Players may book one or several weeks of the camp, which will take place from August 2nd to August 23rd. Check-in and check-out will be on Sundays.

The camp methodology, developed by Rodri Ovide, is based on the principle of “learn by doing.” This approach prioritizes game understanding through real playing situations, recognizing that repetition alone does not create better players, but rather better shot-makers. The camp coaches apply this system during technical sessions and are responsible for transmitting it to all participants.

Before the start of the program, a level assessment will be carried out to assign each player to a training group according to their playing level.

The methodology combines analytical and game-based learning to accelerate player development.

• Technical development through drills and controlled situations
• Tactical training for attack, defense, and transitions
• Match-based scenarios (1x1, 2x1, 2x2) and competitive play
• Physical preparation through dynamic exercises and team activities
• Educational sessions covering key aspects of competition

This approach ensures players improve their decision-making, game understanding, and overall performance.
