Welcome to European Pickleball Federation’s Official Website

The European Pickleball Federation (EPF) is proud to announce a partnership with the International Pickleball Teaching Professional Association (IPTPA) — the world’s leading authority in pickleball coaching certification — to bring its globally recognised Level I credential to coaches across Europe. IPTPA operates the most widely recognised coaching certification system in the sport: its credential is recognised in more than 90 countries and trusted as the international standard for pickleball coach education, delivered through IPTPA’s established certification framework and learning platform. Building on that world-class foundation, EPF has contributed its academic and scientific expertise — in sport science, coaching methodology, and structured coach education — to enhance the IPTPA Level I programme for Europe. The result is a co-branded certification, EPF × IPTPA Level I, that pairs IPTPA’s internationally trusted certification with European academic rigour. IPTPA administers, delivers, and issues the certification globally, maintaining its rigorous standards; as the continental body representing Europe’s national federations, EPF serves as the primary institutional partner supporting the programme across the region.
