IPTPA Educator Program

Providing essential fundamentals of how to introduce and teach pickleball to community instructors.

Empowering Community Instructors

This is a new program that IPTPA has developed that targets school physical education teachers, park district staff, YMCA, and JCC employees. The intent is to provide those instructors who are already employed and have insurance with the basic fundamentals of how to introduce and teach pickleball.

A Comprehensive 2-Hour Course

A balanced approach to learning the fundamentals of pickleball instruction through both theory and practice.
