Growing and Supporting Pickleball in Europe
After proceeding with this registration and payment, you will receive a confirmation letter and be provided a link to order your polo-shirt and cap. You must order the uniform at least 3 weeks in advance and give a European location as a shipping address.
You must show respect to EPF referees and charge the standard rates for your services. Offering services for free or at reduced rates to gain an unfair advantage is not allowed and will be reported.
As a USAP-registered trainer in good standing, you are welcome to conduct training in Europe. You may either join a team delivering an EPF referee course or work independently with EPF’s approval. In the latter case, your instruction will be considered informal, as participants who are not yet credentialed by EPF will not have access to referee content on the EPF or USAP websites. You are not to share USAP copyrighted material and they are not to be considered “verified trainees” by USAP just because they are Europeans.
Disclaimer:
Please note that no other credentials than EPF (and those issued by its member countries in their native language) are to be issued in Europe. Issuing any other credentials in Europe will place you under the USAP Officiating Compliance Program. This may result in the termination of your own credentials, and any unauthorized credentials issued will be considered null and void.
