HistóriaPickleball England revamps regions: clearer route for ABC to board-level link, IPTPA coach pathway live
Pickleball England has approved a refreshed regional setup: seven Regional Directors now form a Regional Steering Group, with one Director joining the national Board. The Board will also comprise six National Directors and the Chair of the Regional Steering Committee [1].For clubs in the South, named regional leads provide a clear first contact into the new structure. ABC should confirm whether its postcode falls under South West or South East (North/South) and use the listed regional lead as the primary route into regional support and the Steering Group [1].On coach education, the IPTPA pathway is active. Pickleball England maintains a public register of IPTPA-qualified coaches across the southern counties—useful for arranging mentoring, local training, or finding upcoming certification opportunities [2].What it means for ABC: identify the correct region and reach out to the Regional Director to align on support and competitions [1]; connect with nearby IPTPA-certified coaches to build session quality and plan certification steps for aspiring coaches [2].
