About the Experience

Train. Enjoy. Connect.

This program is hosted at the official training base of Paula Josemaría — multiple-time world no.1 and current Premier Padel top contender — and Agustín Gutiérrez, Premier Padel professional (Top 70), offering a truly elite environment where your group follows a structured approach to movement, tactics and competitive mindset.
