This opportunity represents a significant milestone for school padel development in the UK, offering young players the chance to train alongside one of the sport's greatest champions at Club Atletico Montemar in Alicante.
A Life-Changing Prize for Young Champions

For grassroots players competing at the national schools level, this represents a transformative opportunity—the chance to learn directly from a padel legend while experiencing the professional environment that shaped champions.
Building the Future of UK School Padel
The championship's success reflects growing momentum around padel development in British schools. The event has secured backing from major sponsors including PHMG (headline sponsor), Avensure, and Padel Roaming, the official organiser of Pitu Losada Academy camps.
