Padel Coach CV Guide for Coaches

What to put on a padel coach CV, what to skip, and a clean template you can adapt for clubs, academies, and resorts.

What clubs actually want to see

A padel coach CV should help a club answer one question fast: can this person coach, retain players, and fit our program? That means your CV should be built around coaching evidence, not a generic sports biography.

The best CVs make your coaching level, player experience, and availability visible within the first page.

Start with the basics:

Full name
City and country
Phone number and email
Languages spoken
Right to work if relevant for the country
Availability: part-time, full-time, freelance, seasonal, relocation

Then add a short profile of 3 to 4 lines. Keep it specific. Mention your coaching level, types of players you work with, and your strongest setting, such as club programs, private lessons, junior groups, holiday camps, or high-performance squads.

What to include on a padel coach CV

1) Coaching qualifications

List certifications in a way clubs can recognize quickly. Use the exact name of the certificate and the issuing body.

Examples:

FEP Level 1 / Level 2 / Level 3
RPT Padel certification
ISP Academy coach course
National federation licenses where relevant
First aid or safeguarding certificates if you have them
CPR or emergency response training

If you have training from tennis or fitness backgrounds, include it only if it helps your padel profile, such as:

ITF coaching courses
LTA coaching qualifications
Strength and conditioning certificates
Sports psychology or youth development training

If a course is not widely known, add the duration and focus, such as “20-hour adult beginner methodology course.”

2) Coaching experience

This is the core of the CV. For each role, include:

Club or academy name
City and country
Dates
Your role
Who you coached
Main responsibilities
Real outcomes where you can prove them

Good examples of responsibilities:

Delivered private lessons and weekly group sessions
Ran beginner onboarding and member retention programs
Managed junior groups by age and level
Organized internal tournaments and match-play evenings
Coached competitive pairs for local and regional events
Worked with tourists, expats, or hotel guests in a resort setting

Keep outcomes honest and useful. Instead of vague claims, use concrete indicators:

“Built a beginners’ program that filled 3 weekly groups”
“Managed 40+ adult and junior players per week”
“Increased repeat bookings through structured 6-week blocks”

3) Player profile and coaching style

Clubs want to know if you can coach their client base. A coach in Marbella may work very differently from one in Manchester, Dubai, or Stockholm.

Include the groups you handle best:

Adults new to padel
Intermediate league players
Juniors aged 6 to 16
Women’s groups
Competitive pairs
Private clients
Corporate sessions
Vacation programs

Mention your coaching style in practical terms:

Technique and movement fundamentals
Tactical doubles positioning
Serve and return development
Match analysis
Video feedback
Multiball drills
Fun, social group sessions

4) Languages and mobility

For international clubs, languages matter nearly as much as certification. State your level plainly:

English: fluent
Spanish: conversational
French: basic
Arabic: native

Also note whether you are open to:

Relocation to Spain, Portugal, the UAE, or elsewhere
Seasonal work in resorts
Travel for tournaments or camps
Weekend and evening schedules

5) Results and responsibilities

If you have measurable results, include them carefully and honestly. Good examples are:

Retained beginners into second-term group programs
Supported academy players in regional competitions
Filled private lesson slots through member referrals
Coordinated junior holiday camps at a club in Barcelona or Doha

Do not invent rankings, win rates, or coaching hours unless you can verify them.

What to leave out

A CV is not a life story. Clubs review a lot of applications, so remove anything that slows them down.

Leave out these items

Full home address
National ID numbers
Marital status
Date of birth unless requested by local hiring rules
Unrelated jobs from early career unless they add value
Long explanations about why you love sport
Generic phrases like “team player” and “hard worker” without proof
Photos unless the club or country expects them
Social media links unless they show coaching content clearly

Avoid these common mistakes

Listing every tournament you ever played as a junior
Using vague claims like “highly experienced” without evidence
Hiding gaps in experience instead of explaining them briefly
Mixing coaching CV language with player-agent language
Using a one-page tennis CV without adapting it to padel

If you played in major events, keep the section short. A club in Madrid or Milan cares more about your ability to run classes than about a long competition record.

A simple CV structure that works

Use this order unless a job post asks for something different:

Contact details
Short professional profile
Coaching qualifications
Coaching experience
Playing background, if relevant
Languages
Additional skills
References on request

Keep it to one or two pages. One page is enough for newer coaches; two pages is normal for experienced coaches with multiple club roles.

How to tailor it for different clubs

A private club in London, a resort in Mallorca, and a multi-court venue in Dubai all want different things.

Member clubs want retention, scheduling reliability, and good group management
Academies want methodology, junior development, and competition experience
Resorts want guest service, language skills, and fast session delivery
New clubs want coaches who can help build programs from zero

If you are applying in Spain, Portugal, or the UAE, make the CV easy to scan and include your visa or work-status situation if relevant. In many clubs, that can matter as much as certification.

A short cover note helps too. Write 4 to 6 lines on the type of program you can lead, your availability, and the countries or cities you can work in.

If you want a visible profile while job hunting, you can list yourself on Padeluro for free, and clubs can request coaches free during launch.
