JAMMU: A three-day Padel Clinic led by Mexican international coach Patrice Ramos began at Champions Arena here on September 18, with 20 players undergoing intensive training focused on technical skills, game awareness and match performance.
Ramos, who is associated with the McDonald’s Indian Padel Academy, is conducting the clinic from September 18 to 20 as part of efforts to provide J&K players with international-standard coaching and help them improve their competitive performance.
A spokesperson for the Padel Sports Association of J&K said bringing international-level coaching to the region had been a key objective of the association. “It was our desire to provide international-standard coaching to our players for skill upgradation and improvement in performance. This clinic is an important step in that direction,” the spokesperson said.
The participating players are also scheduled to compete in an upcoming Indian Padel Tour event in Chandigarh, giving them an opportunity to sharpen their skills ahead of a tournament featuring leading padel players from across the country.
Champions Arena, which has two padel courts, has been working closely with the association to promote the sport through challenges, workshops, coaching clinics and monthly tournaments.
Padel, which originated in Mexico, has gained widespread popularity across Latin America and Spain and is steadily emerging as a growing sport in India. The ongoing clinic is expected to provide J&K players with valuable international coaching and competitive preparation ahead of their Chandigarh tournament.
