Jeremy Gala
Hello everyone,
I am Jeremy Gala. I stepped onto a padel court for the first time almost 10 years ago. Since then, I have become completely passionate about this sport.
Having been selected 9 times in the Belgian national team, I lived in Madrid for over a year to train professionally and then compete on the World Padel Tour circuit.
Upon my return to Belgium, I wanted to put my experience and learning at the service of anyone with the desire to improve or simply discover this magnificent sport.
All of this has led me today to create my own padel academy with the desire to continue transmitting my values, experience, and passion to as many people as possible.
Hoping to see you as soon as possible on and off the courts, with the entire team, we welcome you to the Gala Padel Academy!

My name is Nico, qualified, trained, and above all, a lover of this wonderful sport.
Over the past few years, I have had the chance to associate and train with the best players in our country, who have passed on their expertise and the joy of teaching to others.
My goal is simple... to help you progress (defensively, offensively, strategically, physically...) with joy and good spirits.
So, don't hesitate to come have fun and excel with me.
See you very soon.
Stef Priem
Hello,
I started playing padel for the first time in 2018, and since then, there hasn't been a week without a padel racket in my hands.
I am ready to share my knowledge and passion with you!
My lessons are tailored to all requests and needs. Whether it's physical, technical, tactical, or just for fun, everything is possible!
See you soon on the court!
Roel Ceuppens
During a vacation in Spain in 2017, I saw 'Padel' for the first time. This game, relatively new to me, greatly attracted me and seemed to be a super fun sport!
I have been playing tennis since my childhood, and I was eager to try Padel in Belgium. After an introductory lesson, I got hooked on the Padel craze. Padel is the perfect relaxation alongside my family and the cooking in my own restaurant. For a while, it's a time to clear my mind...
So, I have been playing Padel enthusiastically since 2018 for my enjoyment and also in competitions. Occasionally, I try to take lessons myself to refine my technique and tactics and continue to improve.
Since I love it so much, I also want to share it with others. We recently underwent coaching training with Jeremy, and I can now consider myself a "coach."
Whether you are a beginner, have some experience, need technical improvement, or want initiation for children, I passionately share my experience and knowledge, tailored to your request and level! I am simply an enthusiast and a super fun coach!
Gilles Stas
Hello, everyone!
Before playing padel, I spent 15 years playing tennis, reaching the level of b-15.1 before stopping. After that, I quickly transitioned to padel, and today I have reached the p1000 ranking.
I love this sport, and it's quite rare for a day to pass without a padel racket in my hand.
For the lessons, my goal is very simple: to help you progress as much as possible while having fun. I adapt easily to your needs and different skill levels.
Hoping to see you on the court!

Pascal Gyssels
Hello,
I discovered padel 15 years ago during a trip to Spain.
The discovery was quick.
It turned into a passion, and even then, we played our matches regularly.
Five years ago, there was an opportunity to get certified.
As I had already been a football coach for 30 years, the connection was made quickly.
After 50 years, I gave up football for my next great love: padel.
I love teaching anyone, at any level, with the enthusiasm and knowledge needed!
Hope to see you soon on the court!
Cedric Gyssels
Hello,
I love padel! There, I said it. And it's not just a play on words, but because padel is simply the best sport in the world. Let me explain why.
Firstly, padel is a sport that brings people together.
It's like one big happy family where everyone is welcome, regardless of their skill level.
Secondly, padel is an easy sport to learn but difficult to master. It's like a good puzzle that challenges you and motivates you to improve.
As a coach, I have the opportunity to share my passion and help others enhance their game. It's like being a magician, but instead of pulling rabbits out of a hat, I make winning shots come out of my players.
That's why I enjoy giving light and playful lessons, making sure my players laugh and have fun.
Because if you're not having fun, what's the point, right?
See you soon on the courts!
