Diamond shadow drill

Success target: 10 scenarios in a row where you both end up in the right place, still spaced as a pair.

How to run it

01No ball. Stand with your partner in net position, two metres apart.
02One of you calls scenarios: "lob over me", "short ball left", "drive at you", "lob over you".
03Both players move to where the pair should be — together, keeping the two-metre gap.
0410 calls, then swap the caller.

Why it works

Padel is played by pairs, not players — moving as a unit is a habit you can build without hitting a single ball.
