Attention Canadian Coaches

Due to our partnership with Tennis Canada, we are unable to offer PCI Certification to Canadian residents.

The good news is that we helped build their program, so it's very much in line with our coaching philosophy. To find out more about our NCCP Coaching Certification through Tennis Canada, go to https://pickleballcanada.org/support/coaching/

I enjoyed the content observed in what to teach. It was helpful to review the many grip options as I notice students using different grips depending on their preference. It was also helpful watching the demonstrator explain why as he demonstrated the shot. Examples, turning the body when necessary. Changing the speed for different types of spin (paddle face angle, speed, and path). For organizing people, the diagrams were helpful so that people are placed in ways that are most optimal for playing with different players and getting time. The pointers for communicating and demonstrating were helpful. Especially the point about keeping the explanations to a minimum.
