Padel lessons supervised by a professional, qualified coach
Tom Secret, the passionate coach at Padel Academie La Clémentine
Tom Secret embodies the new generation of sports instructors: passionate, versatile and deeply attached to Sunêlia La Clémentine campsite, where he grew up.
Originally from Metz, Tom holds a BPJEPS APT, a recognised qualification in the world of sport. He already has a wealth of experience under his belt: he completed an internship at Five Padel in Metz, has been working for two years as a sports instructor at Angers SCA football club, and regularly works with companies and schools to lead physical and sporting activities.
You may have met him last summer when he joined the entertainment team at Sunelia La Clémentine campsite, where he shared his good humour and sense of fun with our holidaymakers.
A lifelong passion for sport and padel
Since childhood, Tom has lived and breathed sport and music. A true jack-of-all-trades, he has been playing football for over 14 years, as well as tennis, padel, handball and even American football.
His adventure with padel began at one of the first padel academies in eastern France, where he discovered a sport that combines technique, fun and team spirit, values that he now strives to pass on.
A strong connection with the Sunelia La Clémentine campsite
Tom also has a wonderful story of loyalty: he has been coming to La Clémentine for over 16 years. He has seen the campsite evolve, grow and transform into a renowned 4-star Sunêlia campsite in the Gard region.
After a successful first season under the guidance of Dimitri (manager) and Brice (sports coordinator), he is now back with a new challenge: to offer holidaymakers a unique padel experience thanks to the Padel Academie La Clémentine!
