    I signed up for the Certified Teacher Intermediate Plus (3.0-3.9) for $374 in

    I strongly urge you not to do the same. It was a waste of money and I'm still trying to get a refund, but so far my emails have been ignored.

    Pickleball Coaching Certification

    The quality of the certification study guide, videos, quizzes, and final evaluation criteria are far below an acceptable level, especially for someone who has read the rule book ******************what-i…, played pickleball for more than a year, and watched ******* videos from
    ************************* and
    ************************…

    Study Guide: The IFP Mod 1 Study Guide has basic Pickleball information available on the internet, but very little on coaching. What, When, Why, How is useful, but no example is given. No coaching theory or strategies with example drills are given.

    Common coaching questions and problems are not addressed. For example, I have a student who has played for years, but never had formal instruction. She makes so many fundamental mistakes in footwork and court positioning, stroke production, shot selection, and grip that it is difficult to correct so many ingrained bad habits. I've found this is a common problem with students, numerous bad habits and no formal coaching until they hire me. Nothing in this guide or videos assists me with this common problem.

    Videos: There were 2 one hour videos that were assigned that were just a recording of a zoom call with an instructor and 2-3 students about how to play pickleball with some coaching tips throw in. It wasn't even on a court, just a zoom call in a house.

    Quizzes: The quizzes have several questions that are suspect and aren't clear.

Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic.
