Padel is a very social and cool game for me! You don't have to know what special trianing is needed to start and you get emotion and enough load on the field for the first time. Then it is up to everyone to decide what level they want to take themselves to.

MAREK MARKSOO
I've been playing tennis on a really good level since I was 6 years old. I found padel when the first padel courts were built in Rocca al Mare in summer 2017.
Connection was immediate and really strong so the first 4 years I played as a pro and then at the beginning of 2022 I started as Padel+ Academy director.
Besides my work I have achieved the number one spot in Estonian padel leaderboard. Coaching is not my everyday job but whoever wishes to know more about padel and learn something new, I'm there for it.

RENE BUSCH JR.
I have been involved in racket sports longer than I have been walking. Even when I was still on my dad's lap, I had tennis racquet in my hand. At the age of 15, I became the US champion in tennis in Miami. My first contact with padel was 2 years ago, and the decision to commit to it came quickly.
I train both youth and adults from beginner to advanced levels. I mainly focus on the tactical side of the game to teach how, where and why to hit the ball. I have improved my padel knowledge in Spain.

RAUNO HAIDLA
I've had an active lifestyle my whole life. I started playing padel 2 years ago and before that I played volleyball for 9 years.
I've had different experiences with padel from Estonia, Italy, Finland and most recently from Spain where I learned even more about the technical part of padel.
As a trainer, I base the training on the client's wishes and pay attention to the fact that what is learned in the training is grounded and understandable.
As a person I'm really open-minded and kind. My training can be in Estonian or in English

My first racket sport was tennis, which I started playing at the age of 9. From tennis, I got into padel in 2017, when my brother, who has studied mostly in Argentina, started coaching me. Today I have played in several GPs and have always finised on the podium. In addition, I've been with the Estonian Padel Team at the European Championships in 2021 and the World Championships in 2022.
As a player and coach I have also developed my skills in Spain. Recently completed my training as a padel coach in Madrid under Argentinean coach Maximo Castello and obtained the "APA Monitor De Padel" padel coach papers. I have been coaching since 2019 and enjoy coaching players at all levels.
