This tournament does not count towards the KNLTB ranking, so you do NOT need a ranking or need to be a member of the KNLTB. A detailed explanation of the levels can be found below.
📈 Level: beginner (KNLTB 8/9), intermediate (KNLTB 6/7) and advanced (KNLTB 4/5). During the group stage, we divide the beginner category into level 8 and level 9 so that the matches are more evenly matched and enjoyable. We do the same for the other categories. Not sure what your ranking is? We will help you determine which level suits you best. Send an email to info@padelspijkers.nl
Format: each match lasts 30 minutes. After the 1.5-hour group stage (3 x 30 min), there will be a 30-minute semi-final followed by a 30-minute final for each category separately. We also have consolation rounds.
💰Cost: 50 euros per team, so 25 euros per person.
💪The winners of both categories will receive some great prizes.
👫You will play all matches with the partner you register with.
*Match schedules and further information will be sent by email one day before the tournament.

Level Explanation
Bandeja Padel – Level: Beginners
This level is approximately equivalent to KNLTB ranking 8/9 and Playtomic ranking: 1 – 2 +/-
You have been playing for a few months, approximately 1 to 2 times per week, or have been playing irregularly for about 1/2 a year, or you have some experience with a racket sport. You are able to hit a forehand, backhand, volleys and a serve over the net.
After serving, you tend to stay at the back of the court. Points are also often won from the back of the court. When serving, you and your opponent switch sides each time, just like in tennis.
Bandeja Padel – Level: Intermediate
This level is approximately equivalent to KNLTB ranking 6/7 and Playtomic ranking: 2.5 – 4 +/-
You already have a fair amount of playing experience and play at least once a week. You are practising shots such as the bandeja, vibora, bajada and chiquita and/or are starting to gain some control over them. You have good control of the basic shots, such as the forehand, backhand, volleys and serve.
You are starting to understand the tactical side of the game better. After serving, you immediately move up to the net and try to maintain the net position. When serving, the net player does not switch sides. When you are not serving, you try to take over the net position by playing a lob or chiquita. You also look at where your opponent is positioned to decide where to hit the ball.
Bandeja Padel – Level: Advanced
This level is approximately equivalent to KNLTB ranking 4/5 and Playtomic ranking: 4+. You have a lot of playing experience and play at least twice a week. You regularly play tournaments and participate in competitions. In addition to the basic shots, you also have good control of padel-specific shots such as the bandeja, vibora, bajada and chiquita. You can also hit winners with a kick smash or power smash and occasionally hit the ball out of the court. You have a strong tactical understanding of the game. You try to build the point effectively, can vary the pace during the rally and finish points at the right moment.
