Bandeja Padel – Beginner Level
Comparable to KNLTB ranking 8/9 and Playtomic 1–2 (+/-)
You have been playing for a few months, about 1–2 times per week, or irregularly for around half a year. You may also have some experience with other racket sports. You are able to hit a forehand, backhand, volleys, and serve over the net.
After serving, you tend to stay at the back of the court. Most points are played from the baseline. During service games, you and your opponent switch sides each time, similar to tennis.
Bandeja Padel – Intermediate Level
Comparable to KNLTB ranking 6/7 and Playtomic 2.5–4 (+/-)
You have a solid amount of playing experience and play at least once per week. You are practicing shots such as the bandeja, vibora, bajada, and chiquita and are starting to gain control over them. You have good control over the basic strokes such as forehand, backhand, volleys, and serve.
You are developing a better tactical understanding of the game. After serving, you move forward to the net and try to maintain that position. During service, the net player does not switch sides. When returning, you try to gain the net position by playing a lob or chiquita. You also observe your opponents to decide where to place the ball.
Bandeja Padel – Advanced Level
Comparable to KNLTB ranking 4/5 and Playtomic 4+
You have a lot of playing experience and play at least twice per week. You regularly participate in tournaments and competitions. In addition to the basic strokes, you have strong control over padel-specific shots such as the bandeja, vibora, bajada, and chiquita.
You are able to hit winners using kick smashes or power smashes and occasionally even hit the ball out of the court. Tactically, you are strong: you build points effectively, vary the pace during rallies, and finish points at the right moment.
