Padel Ratings
Nobody has cracked the Padel Rating puzzle but we're giving it a go. If we are all honest with ourselves, an accurate rating helps match you with the best partners and opponents for matches and activities.
Not sure of your rating? Come along to a coaching session and ask our Coach to give you a rating - you'll just need to create a Padel Levels account and link it to The Warehouse.
PS - The system shown is the one we are using. Top tip ... be honest, you will improve quicker.
Padel & Pickle Coaching
Padel and PB look like a really simple games, and in many ways, they are! You can pick up a bat and run around chasing the ball until you drop. However, they are really difficult to play well, let alone master. It is similar to many other racket sports but learning specific technique is a must if you plan on getting the most out of these games.
OUR COACHES
Bret Bellamy
We first came across Brett when we noticed he was booking courts nearly every day. He quickly became our number one customer and a huge improver as he flew up the leagues.
A former professional footballer and England Futsal international, Brett has worn the national kit (how cool?!). Despite being obsessed with padel, he is also a scratch golfer. Some people are so annoying :)
He’s coached at top football academies, trained athletes of all abilities, and knows how to bring out the best in every player - whether you're chasing a ball or your fitness goals.
A qualified personal trainer, he is passionate about working with people with disabilities - proof that behind the sporting talent is a good guy.
Feel free to message Brett if you fancy some private coaching or just keep an eye out for him at The Warehouse as he's often floating around.
Joe Gleed
Joe fell in love with pickleball around three years ago and hasn't looked back. In that time, he has steedily worked his way up the UK ranks. He is now one of the highest rated players in Suffolk, competing at national level and helping to grow the sport across the UK.
Apart from coaching, Joe spends his days creating unique, hand-crafted furniture. To make his business as eco-friendly as possible, he uses reclaimed materials, and works predominantly with disused whiskey and wine barrels which he gets from a distillery in Scotland.
He creates anything from benches, tables and chairs to smaller home accessories, such as cutting boards and wine bottle holders. How cool is that!
Oops, I went off-piste a little there ... Whether you're brand new to pickleball or looking to take your game to the next level, Joe is here to help.
