Your level

What's your padel level?

Belmar uses the Playtomic scale, 0 to 7 — the same number the request form asks for. On Playtomic already? Use your profile number. If not, find yourself below. Each step assumes everything below it.

The scalePlaytomic · 0 – 7

Minimum to play: 2.0 — you can return the ball and keep a rally alive. Past that, groups are balanced, not sorted.

Beginner

0 – 2.4
  • Below 2.0Under a year in. Rallies at low speed, when they last.
  • 2.0About a year of play, a couple of games a month. Rallies and returns at low speed. The minimum

Intermediate

2.5 – 4.4
  • 2.5Most strokes nearly there. Controls direction at a normal pace.
  • 3.0Most strokes solid. Plays flat, drives the ball. Still plenty of unforced errors.
  • 3.5Adds slice, forehand and backhand. Puts the ball where intended. Errors still frequent.
  • 4.0Masters most strokes, slice or flat, on target. Few unforced errors.

Advanced

4.5 – 7
  • 4.5+Places the ball at speed. From here it's finishing points, pace, and tactics.

Not sure? Guess low. Honest numbers make better nights. A solid weekly club player is usually a 2.5 to 3.5.

Groups are balanced for level and good company — never sorted by level alone.

Levels will vary;
the crowd won't.
