Pickleball Australia's Coaching Framework

Pickleball Australia (PA) launched its Australian Coaching Framework in August 2024. A summary is in the diagram below. For more details, please review their framework documentation. Other coaching framework levels are similar but may not have other requirements such as sports integrity and anti-doping training. PA's framework adheres to the safeguarding and integrity requirements of all other sports in Australia and was informed by the Australian Sports Commission Coaching and Officiating Framework Toolkit.

Note that coaching levels should not be the only consideration when choosing a coach.

Insurance Coverage - PA's insurance coverage extends to PA accredited coaches operating within their scope of accreditation or to volunteers performing basic instruction with newcomers/ beginners at organised sessions with PA affiliates. (All current PA/PV affiliates are here.)
