Level 2 certification

Take your coaching to the next level

Develop techniques, hone tactics and court positioning, correct common mistakes, and motivate players to unlock their potential. Build personalised lesson plans you can customise for every student.

Level 1 enrolment required. You can book Level 2 before completing Level 1.

Built to sharpen your coaching craft

This course is designed to enhance your coaching expertise for working with intermediate to advanced pickleball players, in both group and one-on-one settings. You'll deepen your understanding of advanced coaching strategies and refine your teaching approach.

What you’ll learn

Everything you need to coach at a higher level

Five capability areas that move you from delivering sessions to shaping players.

  • Principles

    Advance the core coaching principles that hold up under pressure with intermediate and advanced players.

  • Tactics

    Recognise intermediate-level tactics and coach players to read and respond to them in live play.

  • Technique

    Teach the intermediate technical skills that separate club players from competitive ones.

  • Lessons

    Structure and deliver effective group sessions and private lessons that build real progression.

  • Drills

    Build your own library of drills and activities you can pull from for any player, any session.

Requirements

What it takes to certify

Complete your Level 1 certification, attend the course and zoom session, and submit four lesson plans designed to show how you’d actually coach.

  • Level 1 certified

    You can enrol in Level 2 as soon as your Level 1 enrolment is paid, but you must complete your Level 1 certification before your Level 2 certification is awarded. Level 2 builds directly on those foundations.

  • In-person course

    Attend the Level 2 course at your selected date and location. Hands-on training led by your facilitator.

  • Group zoom session

    Join a post-course group session online to align on what’s expected before you submit your lesson plans.

  • Four lesson plans

    Submit four one-hour lesson plans as PDFs through the portal. Your facilitator reviews each one and gives personalised feedback until they’re passed.
