Questions

Do I need to be a top player?

No. Court Coach is for confident social players, around 3.0 and up is a good guide. We care more about how you teach than how you smash.

Do I need a first aid certificate?

Yes. Every PHAUSe coach needs a current one (for example, Philippine Red Cross Standard First Aid). We don't teach first aid, but we can point you to a course.

What if I'm Not Yet Competent?

That isn't a fail. You get feedback on exactly what to fix, and each unit includes 2 attempts.

How long does it take?

Most people complete Court Coach in about 8–12 weeks, depending on how often you can play and coach.

Is this a government or Pickleball Australia qualification?

No. It's a PHAUSe Coaching Academy credential, designed and assessed by a qualified Australian trainer and assessor. It isn't a nationally recognised qualification, and it doesn't replace PCI, PPR, IPTPA or Pickleball Australia certification. It's great preparation for them, though: you'll already have the logbook, videos and teaching practice.

Can I work as a coach after?

Our graduates are the first people we consider for coaching at PHAUSe, and we'll recommend graduates to resorts and clubs that ask us.
