Russell began playing padel in 2022 while visiting South Africa, after many of his tennis friends had made the switch to the sport. He quickly became hooked on the long rallies, tactical elements and the way padel brings players of different skill levels together on court.

Originally from Pietermaritzburg, South Africa, Russell brings a thoughtful and analytical approach to coaching. He enjoys helping players unlock those small insights that can transform their understanding of the game and elevate their performance.

Russell works primarily with intermediate players, focusing on improving shot selection, consistency and tactical awareness to help players build confidence in match situations.

Greg Nicol

More info

Greg discovered padel in 2024 while touring Europe with hockey and was immediately drawn to the sport. Having played ball sports his entire life, he loves how padel combines the overheads of badminton, the spin of table tennis, the volleys of tennis and the retrieving of squash — all within a team-based doubles game.

One of New Zealand’s top padel players, Greg has recorded strong finishes in recent Men’s A tournaments across the country. His coaching focuses on helping players develop patience, strong net positioning and the tactical discipline required to succeed at higher levels.

Greg works with advanced players, guiding them to refine their technique, decision-making and competitive mindset.

Looking forward to seeing you on court.
