PCP Launches Free Level 1A Coaching Certification — The First Step to Becoming a Pickleball Coach

Singapore, December 4, 2025 — PCP today announced the launch of its Level 1A (L1A) Coaching Certification, a free program designed to empower pickleball players to become peer support coaches — mentors who help others take their first steps in the sport while building the foundation for their own coaching careers.

The L1A Certification is the entry point into the PCP Coaching Pathway, giving passionate players the skills, structure, and confidence to lead sessions among peers and guide new players in a supportive environment. The program focuses on communication, leadership, and the fundamentals of player development — all essential traits of a great coach.

“The L1A certification is where leaders are born. It’s more than just technical skills — it’s about learning how to connect, guide, and inspire. We want every player to know they have the power to make a difference in someone else’s game.” - Hannah Tan, Head of PCP Curriculum

With pickleball rapidly expanding across Singapore and Asia, PCP’s new certification opens the door for players to turn passion into purpose and become part of the region’s fastest-growing coaching network.

“This program gives every player a chance to grow beyond the game. The L1A is the first step toward a lifelong journey of mentorship, learning, and impact. We’re building a movement — one coach at a time.” said Darren Ho, Chairman of PKQ International and founder of PCP.

Program Highlights

• Free enrollment for all players interested in learning to coach

• Peer-to-peer training designed for beginners and emerging leaders

• Recognised across Asia, forming the base for future PCP certifications (Levels 1–5)

• Real pathways for those considering coaching as a professional career
