Certified Teacher - Beginner/Plus

This is an IFP Certification Program.  Designed to give individuals who wish to instruct the credentials to do so.  The appropriate certification level will be provided based on their level of play, teaching ability and more.

As an IFP certified instructor, individuals can opt to be covered by a General Liability and Professional Liability Insurance.  Insurance is based on (12) months of coverage therefore needs to be renewed for continued coverage.

The vision for the IFP Instructor Insurance is to be the lowest cost of it's peers and provide more value.  Such as not only have General but Professional Liability too and travel with you if you decide to teach in other countries.

Once you obtain an IFP Intructor Certification, you will be entitled to attend our ‘Continual Education Courses’ to provide additional understanding and proficiency in specific areas of the game.  Each course has (3) levels (Silver, Gold and Master Level).  At the end of each course completion, you will receive an ‘IFP Proficiency Certification’ for that specific topic and level.

Monthly newsletters with Instructor tips, drills, strategy ideas and more delivered to you each month.  These will include both written and videos.  All approved and certified to improve your teaching skills to enhance your students experience.

The Pickleball training material and video archive falls under our ‘Continual Education’ department.  These are available to all IFP Certified Instructors / Teachers and IFP Members.  Their is currently a lot of Pickleball videos and instructional material on the internet (some good and some that may actually hurt your game).  How do you know?  That is the reason the IFP Continual Education department decided to do the work for you.  The videos and material in our archive has been watched, analyzed and approved to benefit and improve your game.  Let us do the work for you figuring which videos will be beneficial to your game.  Disclaimer:  Just because a video is not included, does not mean it is not of value.  Our Pro Instructors may have not had a chance to view it, or we already have approved videos covering the specific topic.  We will always have multiple training videos for each topic as instructors use different words and knowing some words specific to you may stick more than others. 

The Virtual Video Conferencing Training sessions fall under our ‘Continual Education’ department.  These sessions are once a month and are hosted by one or more of our Pro-level Certified Instructor Clinicians.  They are available to all IFP Certified Teachers and Instructors at no charge.
