I attended the Royal Padel camp in Barcelona and loved every minute of it. The coaching was excellent, the concepts were easy to understand, and I could see real changes in my game almost immediately. …

    I can’t recommend Fede enough even if recommending him means he will get too busy to find time for lessons. Many coaches teach padel in complicated ways, making it hard to ever feel in control on the court. Fede has a way of making every stroke simple- so that you can both do it and remember how to do it. …

    I’ve really enjoyed training with Fede, both in Nairobi and Barcelona. What I appreciated most was going back to the fundamentals of padel, which has made a big difference in my game. Since training with him, I was able to win a Level 3.5 tournament in Nairobi. I would definitely train with him again and highly recommend him.

    زرت فيدي لمدة اسبوع في برشلونه ، كانت تجربة جدا جميله. الترتيب للتمارين والمباريات كلن واضح من قبل الزيارة. والتدريب طبعا ولا غلطة يعتبر من افضل المدربين اللي جربتهم. وما ننسى العلاقة الطيبة اللي بنيناها معاه حتى بعيد عن الملاعب. أنصح وبشدة

    I visited Fede for a week in Barcelona; it was a very beautiful experience. The schedule of training sessions and matches was all clear before the visit. And the coaching, of course, was flawless; he is one of the best coaches I have tried. And we won’t forget the good relationship we built with him, even away from the courts. I highly recommend.

    Visited Barcelona for a music festival and couldn't resist getting some coaching in. Fede and his team were wonderful, even just two sessions made a huge difference to my game and helped correct errors I'd collected over two years of playing. Would absolutely recommend their coaching!

I attended the Royal Padel camp in Barcelona and loved every minute of it. The coaching was excellent, the concepts were easy to understand, and I could see real changes in my game almost immediately. The instructors clearly know how to teach players at different levels, and they have a gift for identifying exactly what each person needs to work on. The whole experience felt personalized, supportive, and genuinely transformative for my game. What really stood out was how well those lessons traveled home with me. Back on my own courts, my playing group noticed the difference right away, not just in my scores but in my confidence and how I move around the court. I came in hoping to pick up a few tips and left a noticeably better player. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Spain!
Monica J.Training
I can’t recommend Fede enough even if recommending him means he will get too busy to find time for lessons. Many coaches teach padel in complicated ways, making it hard to ever feel in control on the court. Fede has a way of making every stroke simple- so that you can both do it and remember how to do it. He does the same with strategy. He video tapes sometimes so you can understand what is right and get a mental picture of it. He completely fixed my game and gave me the skills and confidence to continue to enjoy it and to play better over time.
JoConnect2Padel, UK
Review for Fede I honestly cannot recommend Fede highly enough. We have had the pleasure of bringing Fede over to the UK to deliver a number of coaching clinics for Connect2Padel, including sessions at Ace Padel in Stoke, Destination Padel in Northwich and Cheadle, and the experience from start to finish has been exceptional. His communication before the clinics is brilliant, his organisation is seamless and then you get him on court and see exactly why he is so highly regarded. The level of coaching is outstanding. Fede has an incredible ability to read players, understand exactly what they need and deliver high-level coaching in a way that is engaging, accessible and, importantly, enjoyable. Whether somebody is looking to improve technically, tactically or simply gain more confidence on court, he has a fantastic way of getting the best out of them. But for me, what really sets Fede apart is the person behind the coach. His interpersonal skills are exceptional. He remembers people, connects with them, makes everyone feel welcome and creates a brilliant atmosphere around his clinics. People do not just come away feeling like they have had a great coaching session. They come away having genuinely enjoyed the whole experience. For the standard of coaching he provides, his clinics also represent fantastic value for money, making genuinely high-level padel coaching accessible to more players. Exceptional coach. Brilliant communicator. Fantastic with people. And just an all-round amazing guy to work with. The feedback we have received from the UK clinics has been fantastic, and we absolutely love having Fede working alongside Connect2Padel. If you ever get the opportunity to get on court with him, take it. You will very quickly understand what all the fuss is about!
Nicolas M.Private lessons
Fede is a top coach who made me improve a lot. He has a real ability to share his knowledge, both in the technical and tactical aspects of the game. The organisation of his private lessons and training camps is excellent: he does everything he can to make you feel comfortable and ensures that you leave already seeing noticeable progress. I highly recommend giving it a try with Fede — results guaranteed!
Goran S.Padel coach, Järfälla Padel Club, Stockholm
I have been a certified Padelcoch at Jarfalla Padel Club, Stockholm, Sweden since 2020. Fede & Royal Padel Academy were responsible for the training and certification. The training is extensive and consists of many different elements that you need as a coach, both theoretical and practical. In addition to the certification in Stockholm, I have also had trainings with Fede in Barcelona at Royal Padel. The training ends with practical presentations and real training lessons where you as a new coach get to show what you have learned in the training. Fede is a committed and skilled padel instructor. He is meticulous and is very keen that you understand what and why in principle so that you yourself as a coach can then give good padel lessons. He gives good tips that can be used for everything from beginners to more advanced students. As much as Fede requires intense focus on his courses and clinics, he is just as easy to laugh and relax between lessons. All training has been in English. Fede is also an incredibly good padel player in matches. I have played on the same team as Fede in the EPL (European Padel League) in Stockholm and Dubai, among others, with very good results. I can highly recommend Fede's courses, training, and clinics, regardless of whether you are a beginner or an advanced padel player. Goran Stolpe PadelCoach Jarfalla Padel Club Stockholm/Sweden
The Padel House, LagosCoach education
Fede played an important role in the launch of The Padel House in Lagos. He personally trained our local coaches, sharing his knowledge, experience and professional approach to the game. Later, he also sent another coach from his academy to continue supporting and developing our team. Both coaches were highly professional, committed and excellent with our players. Our coaches benefited greatly from the training, while our members thoroughly enjoyed the sessions and saw real improvements in their game. We are very grateful for Fede’s support and would confidently recommend him and the Fedevives Academy to anyone looking for high-quality padel coaching and a truly enjoyable experience.

I had a great experience with Fede and his academy. His coaching is professional, enjoyable, and really focused on helping you improve your game. I also recommended Fede’s padel camp to some friends, and they came back very happy with the experience and highly recommended it as well. I would definitely recommend Fede Vivas Academy to anyone looking to improve their padel and have a great time along the way. Leo
Jared R.Padel coach, UK
Fede came over to the UK to coach the coaches for a weekend early in my padel journey, and it was exactly what I needed. He was insightful and generous with his knowledge, and happy to answer every question we threw at him. What stood out as much as the expertise was the manner. He’s humble and easy to be around. He set us up on the right path as coaches and gave us foundations we’re still building on. Anyone looking to get into padel, as a player, coach or business, would do well to work with him.
