PAA Coaching Accreditation

Pickleball, as a new sport worldwide, is still in the early stages of developing coach education courses for accreditation of coaches at various levels.

The PAA presently recognises a number of coach education courses and the accreditation they provide.  

Coaches who are accredited and register with PAA are available HERE (** link coming soon**)

Coaching courses are offered each year with both local and overseas instructors.  There is also the option of an online coach education program.

At present the following associations offer courses recognised by PAA Ltd. 

PAA Ltd. is presently working on an accreditation and officiating framework to standardise the accreditation of coaches country-wide.  Accredited courses will be placed within this framework to guide you on which course will suit your coaching purposes.
