PCI for Pickleball Facilities
A New IAPPF Partnership Backed by Selkirk Sport
Pickleball Coaching International (PCI) is the global leader in pickleball coach education.
We make good coaches even better.
Through a new partnership with the International Association of Pickleball & Paddle Facilities (IAPPF) and our parent company Selkirk Sport, PCI is excited to offer IAPPF member facilities access to a new Facility Credit Program—a convenient way to support your coaches, build stronger programs, and access professional development opportunities.
What Is the Facility Credit Program?
When your facility joins the IAPPF, you'll immediately receive credits to use toward:
PCI Level 1 Instructor Certification (our flagship online course)
PCI coaching tools and downloadable resources
Professional development tools like the Ratings Assessment Course
You’ll also have the opportunity to earn additional credits by participating in impactful activities, such as:
Hosting a Selkirk Sport Demo Day
Referring coaches to PCI
Displaying PCI signage or printed materials
Promoting PCI through your facility’s website, email, or social media
This is a flexible, straightforward way to bring real educational value into your coaching culture.
What Facilities Receive
Every IAPPF member facility will receive a Facility Starter Kit, including:
A printed guide to the credit program
Free educational tools:
Selkirk Playbook
Junior Lesson Plans
Intro Instructor Guide
Printable PCI flyers and posters
