Learn the tactical and technical secrets behind the 7+1 overheads in padel; how to observe and analyse them, and how to teach them. In tennis there is one overhead – the smash; in padel, there are 8. They are also one of the most common shots in padel, with roughly a quarter of strokes being overheads. Find out why there’s such a variety, and why learning a combination of them is so important for player development. To finish, you’ll also take away a series of games and drills that you can use with players to develop the overhead strokes. This course was developed by a team of content creators that includes Steve Yeardley, Rafa Conde Ripoll, and Iciar Montes. 

On the course, you’ll: 

• Explore the difference between technical style and technical fundamentals for padel overheads 
• Understand why the Bandeja is the most important overhead, and how to coach it through game-based coaching 
• Learn what the eight overheads in the game are, why a player would hit them, and how a player can execute them 

The 7+1 Overheads in Padel is for any coach who wants to better understand the variety of overheads in the game and equip themselves with the knowledge to teach them.
