Learn the coaching system behind The Padel School
The Online Coach Certification has been designed by Sandy Farquharson to give coaches a clear foundation for understanding players, planning lessons and delivering meaningful improvement.
Sandy has represented and captained Great Britain, competed on the World Padel Tour and spent almost two decades coaching players from beginners to professionals.
