Bandeja Padel – Beginners
Comparable to KNLTB ranking 8/9 and Playtomic ranking: approx. 1 – 2.
You’ve been playing for a few months (1–2 times per week) or 1–2 years irregularly, or you have some racket sport experience. You can hit forehand, backhand, volleys, and a serve over the net.
After your serve you tend to stay at the baseline, and most points are played from the back of the court. You switch sides after each serve, just like in tennis.
Bandeja Padel – Intermediate
Comparable to KNLTB ranking 6/7 and Playtomic ranking: approx. 2.5 – 4.
You have solid playing experience and play at least once per week. You are practicing strokes such as bandeja, vibora, bajada, and chiquita and are gaining control over them. You control the basics (forehand, backhand, volleys, serve).
You’re learning the tactical side: after your serve you move to the net and aim to keep the net position. When returning, you try to win the net position with a lob or chiquita. You also look at your opponents’ positioning to decide your shots.
Bandeja Padel – Advanced
Comparable to KNLTB ranking 4/5 and Playtomic ranking: 4+.
You have lots of playing experience and play at least twice per week. You regularly join tournaments and competitions. In addition to the basics, you master padel-specific shots like bandeja, vibora, bajada, and chiquita. You hit winners with a kick smash or power smash, sometimes even out of the cage.
You are tactically strong: you build points, change tempo during rallies, and score at the right moment.
