Day 6 · Fri Tactics & Pressure Play

Day 7 · Sat Freeplay & Tournament

🏐 A Day at Palaestra
Structure that keeps you sharp without burning you out. Two sessions on court, framed by recovery and work that turns training into progress.
- Morning: Breathing & mobility routine, then a sporty breakfast.

- Midday: Lunch at the club.
- Afternoon: Free time, recovery & conditioning.
- Session 2: 1h30 second themed padel block.

Around 3 hours on court every day with a total of 21 court hours for the week.
🏟️ The Venue
Padel Samui serves as the home base for the week.
- Courts reserved for the group.
- A tropical island training environment.
- Daily recovery & massage.
- A serious training block, not a holiday.
👥 Selective by design
Palaestra Koh Samui isn't a camp. We keep the cohort small, the coaching ratio high, and every player is selected by level—so the week pushes everyone on court, not just the loudest.
- 9 players maximum for the entire week.
- Coach-to-player ratio of 1:3, ensuring personalized attention.
- Selection by level through an application form and phone interview to match the group by level and ambition.
