Coach Lea

Meet the legend herself – Coach Lea!

With many years of tennis (like playing for Zim as a junior) under her belt, Lea dove headfirst into padel soon after it arrived in South Africa – and she’s been smashing it ever since!

As a certified Padel MBA coach and proudly Bullpadel sponsored (psst… yes, she has a discount code for her clients 😉), Lea brings next-level skill, passion, and precision to every session.

But padel isn’t just her job – it’s her family’s way of life!

  • Chloe, her business partner and oldest child, keeps the socials buzzing and is probably the one you’ll spot dancing with the Sunday Social ladies.
  • Alex, the youngest, is the reason Lea has to coach hard… someone has to fund his endless padel matches (and yes, he’s a great player).
  • Trevor, her husband, is her fiercest rival – the two battle it out in late-night padel showdowns, fighting for that top Playtomic ranking.

When they’re not coaching or working, you’ll find the entire family locked in epic, competitive family padel matches. Because with the Smiths, padel isn’t just a sport – it’s a lifestyle!
