According to the Padelstar Academy website, all of the academy’s coaches have completed Level 1 or Level 2 training with the Argentine padel association (APA).

Who are the academy’s coaches?

The academy lists Oskar Erik Hakonen, Ronan Vahtras, Marcus Rõuk, Desire Pärn and Amin Zarafshan as coaches, plus Peeter Raag and Rasmus in Pärnu. According to the academy, several of them also play at the top level in Estonia. Each coach’s competition experience and training level are listed on the academy’s website.

How do you choose a coach?

Formal training is a good sign, but your first session will show whether the coach can assess your level and pick drills to suit it. In padel, levels are often described on the Playtomic scale of 0–7. Feel free to ask what training a coach has, and see also what to look for when choosing a coach.
