This level roughly corresponds to KNLTB 8/9 and Playtomic 1.0 – 2.0.
You have been playing padel for a few months, approximately once or twice a week, or you have played occasionally for one to two years. You may also have experience in another racket sport. You are able to hit a forehand, backhand, volley, and serve consistently over the net.

This level roughly corresponds to KNLTB 6/7 and Playtomic 2.5 – 4.0.

You are practicing shots such as the bandeja, vibora, bajada, and chiquita, and are starting to develop control over them. You have good control of the fundamental shots, including the forehand, backhand, volleys, and serve.
You are beginning to understand the tactical side of the game. After serving, you move directly to the net and try to maintain the net position.

You also pay attention to your opponents’ positioning to determine the best shot selection.
