It's great to have a website dedicated to important communications and everything you need to know about the ski school. It helps both instructors and clients navigate the ski school, both organizationally and in terms of reliability and professionalism.

The only downside, in my opinion, is the complex design of the menu interface, which isn't particularly intuitive, although this is a problem that resolves itself with consistent use of the website.

We had a wonderful experience with both our children (9 and 5); the school (and particularly Prem) is responsive, organised and flexible when required. We have found every teacher to be very kind and friendly which has made the whole difference!

Top! I've been using them for over two years, and the results are incredible. At 40, and afraid to let go of my board, it was a real challenge for me. But Nicola is the best! Technique, talent, and kindness: he helped me push my limits. If you want real results, trust him and Giorgio Rocca's school! And Veronica is second to none for all the office management: always available and smiling. I adore you!

Marco is the man! To say my friend and I had an extraordinary time would be an understatement! He is incredibly skilled and patient - and also kept me relaxed.

We had the best time today and want to come back to take lessons again. So happy with this experience, thanks to Marco! He came highly recommended and lived up to his reputation for being the best.

A Great Sport for Kids to
Learn & Grow

Paddle is naturally accessible and quick to pick up, making it ideal for kids. The smaller court and lighter rackets mean young players enjoy long rallies right from their very first lessons. We focus on building confidence, motor skills, team coordination, and court etiquette in a relaxed, encouraging setting.

“Kids learn fastest when they’re having fun. By blending games with fundamental stroke mechanics, they build great hand-eye coordination without feeling pressured.”

What Kids Learn

  • Grip, balance, and simple forehand and backhand technique
  • Understanding ball bounce off the floor and surrounding glass walls
  • Fun target drills and cooperative rally games
  • Court movement, footwork agility, and positioning with a partner
  • Basic scoring, sportsmanship, and teamwork on court
  • Child-sized paddles and junior balls provided for every session

Coaching Age Groups

1. Young Juniors (Ages 6–9)

Focused on coordination games, basic racket control, soft ball bounces, and keeping rallies simple and enjoyable.

2. Juniors (Ages 10–13)

Building consistent groundstrokes, learning wall rebounds, serving correctly, and playing structured points with peers.

3. Teens (Ages 14+)

Refining match strategy, volley control, overheads, and fast wall plays for teens who want a active workout or competitive edge.

Patient, Experienced Coaches

Our team loves introducing young players to paddle. We tailor our coaching pace to match your child’s age and experience, making sure every lesson stays positive, engaging, and rewarding.
