Make your own way to Málaga and check into the hotel from 2pm onwards. Your coaching team will welcome you at the academy at 5pm. We get straight to work on the Defence Triangle: Resist, Build & Counter — specifically the Resist phase. Reading incoming shots, surviving pressure, controlling the back of the court. Pairs work for maximum individual feedback. You have a free evening to explore Málaga, ahead of a weekend packed with padel action!
Breakfast at the hotel. Fuel up — it's the biggest day of the weekend. Focus will be on core technical work and expanding on the Defense Triangle: Resist, Build, and Counter. Morning sessions focus on rhythm, footwork, and control from the back of the court, training in pairs for maximum feedback. Afternoons move into defensive structure, mastering walls, rebounds, and controlled resets under pressure. By the end of the day, timing and precision feel sharper, and the base of your game is set.
Mornings are about volleys, overheads, and offensive positioning. The goal is clean execution and consistency under intensity. In the afternoon, those skills are brought into real play drills that build on finishing patterns, attacking the net, and learning when to close the point. Afternoon sessions simulate mid-court battles and battling for the net, decision-making under time pressure, and reading opponents in live play. Everything from the weekend under real pressure. Closes with individual feedback from Richy's team and a clear picture of what to work on next.
Head Coach USA National Padel Team & Founder RB Academy
I grew up in a small place, which happened to be the center of gravity of padel in Spain at the time. I learnt the game next to the country’s greatest player at the time and fell in love with it. Since then, I’ve spent my life decoding what truly drives performance and helping others reach their peak.
Málaga is my home base for high-performance work and generally a wonderful place for padel with world-class facilities, ideal conditions, and the energy to push players to their limits. It’s the perfect environment to transform.
