I joined the group before the Faro trip, not really knowing anyone. A few social padel sessions and a meal afterwards soon changed that. Everyone was so welcoming, and I really enjoyed the company.

The holiday itself was exceptionally well organised. Transfers were simple, the hotel was lovely, and the schedule of coaching, games and mini-tournaments meant everything ran smoothly. We had knowledgeable coaches from both England and Portugal, and I learned a lot from their experience. Duncan and Casey had clearly put a huge amount of thought into the trip: they’d visited Faro beforehand, knew the local area well, and introduced us to local coaches and players. We enjoyed sessions and tournaments with them, as well as some great meals and evenings out.

We were kept informed before and throughout the trip, and everything was arranged so we could relax and enjoy it without having to worry about what was happening next. It was a brilliant experience, and when the next event was announced, I signed up straight away. This is exactly the kind of trip padel players are looking for. I can’t wait to join them again.
