More than a sport: confidence, friendship and a genuine sense of belonging. Here's what makes the kids academy in Ubud work.

More than a sport

For the children who come through the academy, padel tends to become less about the sport itself and more about the confidence and friendships that come with it. The goal at Bam Bam Padel has always been personal attention: a space in Mas, Ubud, where every child feels welcome, whatever their level.

Coached to a real standard

Every coach on the academy holds Spanish Padel Federation certification, the same standard the adult programme is coached to. That means structured, age-appropriate sessions rather than just supervised court time.

A genuinely international community

The academy draws children from Green School Bali, Pelangi School Ubud, and international families from across the island, which makes for a wider mix of kids than a typical school sports club.

The academy today

The programme has since moved to a four-term season structure for 2026-27, with new age groupings, schedules and pricing. The details below are out of date, so head to the current kids academy page for how it actually runs now, including ages, schedule and cost.

On-site for parents

While your child is on court, the recovery spa and The Winning Serve canteen are both on-site, so there's no need to leave and come back.
