Padel Park Hamilton

🎾 The Padel Park Coaching Programme — Find Your Session

We run coaching and intro sessions every week for every level. Whether you've never set foot on a court or you're looking to compete smarter, there's something here for you. Swipe through the carousel to find where you fit.

Completely free — Intro to Padel & Intro to Pickleball
Multiple sessions across the week. 30 minutes, gear provided, zero cost. If you've been curious, or you know someone who has, just book in and come give it a go.

$15 — First Serve Padel & First Serve Pickleball
Done an intro and want more? These coached sessions build your confidence on court before stepping into our socials. Relaxed, small groups, and a coach with you the whole time.

$20 — Beginners Padel Coaching
Structured, three-part sessions: targeted drills, themed game play, and open play with your coach on court giving feedback in real time. Max 4 players, session plans designed by our head coach Ben.

$30 — Intermediate Padel Coaching
Just 3 players and head coach Ben on court playing with you — not watching from the sideline. The most individualised group coaching we offer.

$40 — Rise & Rally (Wednesday 10am–12pm)
Two hours of coaching and match play built around a Shot of the Week. Technique in the morning, then straight into match situations.

$40 — Tactical Play (Friday 7–8:30pm)
Ninety minutes of live coached match play with Russel. Same Shot of the Week as Rise & Rally — learn it Wednesday, pressure-test it Friday.

Every session runs weekly. All gear provided unless stated otherwise. Spots are limited on the smaller sessions, so book early.

📲 Book through the app or at padelpark.nz

New Weekly Schedule — Starting 17 August

We've shaken up the timetable and there's a lot that's new. Here's what's coming:

New coaching sessions
We're introducing Beginners Padel Coaching and Intermediate Padel Coaching as weekly classes. Whether you're a few socials in and want to sharpen up, or you're already competing and want to push to the next level — there's now a structured session for you. Small groups, top coaches, real improvement.

Rise & Rally is back as a dedicated Wednesday morning session — two hours of coaching and match play built around a Shot of the Week. And on Friday nights, Tactical Play with Russel puts that same shot under pressure in live match situations. Do one or do both.

More free intro sessions than ever
We've added Intro to Padel and Intro to Pickleball sessions across Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday — and they're all completely free. If you, or anyone you know, has been curious about giving padel or pickleball a go, now's the time. No excuses. Just book in and turn up.

First Serve sessions — your next step
Done an intro and want more? Our First Serve sessions for both padel and pickleball are $15, coached, and designed to build your confidence on court before you step into a social. They're relaxed, small, and the perfect bridge into regular play.

Bring a Mate — now a free one-hour session
Every Saturday 10–11am. Grab a mate, book a spot, and play padel for free. No restrictions, no membership needed — just turn up as a pair. Spots are limited and bookings are for two people, so get in early.

Plus all your regular socials, leagues, and intermediate nights are locked in across the week.

See you at The Park 👊

Andy is New Zealand's reigning Open Singles Gold Medallist and has been coaching racket sports for over a decade. His signature coaching cue: do less, win more. Softer hands. Shorter swings. Let the skill of the game do the work. All levels welcome — beginner through competitive.

He grew up in Hamilton with a wooden racket in his hand.
Twenty-five years later, Andy van der Vyver is on the NZ Open Team heading to the Pickleball World Cup in Vietnam — and for a limited time, he's coaching at Padel Park.

Sessions are active, honest, and packed with feedback. Andy hits with you, drills with you, and (in his words) there's always plenty of laughter during a good firefight.

Available Tuesdays only, until 25 August. Pairs and small-group friendly (max 3 per session).

Book here 👉 https://padelpark.nz/classes/private-lessons
Or send us a message to lock in your slot before he's back on tour.

🎾❤️ Rally for a reason.

Join us on 5 September as we come together to support Ronald McDonald House Charities NZ through a day of padel, pickleball, community, and fundraising.

Whether you’re a seasoned player or picking up a racket for the first time, everyone is welcome. Every rally helps make a difference for families who need it most.
