RSPA Pickleball Certification DUPR Coach: The Racquet Sports Professionals Association, called RSPA, has announced that DUPR Coach is joining its official RSPA Pickleball Certification program. This is the first time a racquet sports certification will combine advanced coaching education with an instant way for coaches to earn money.
The program starts with RSPA Pickleball-certified members and will expand in phases. This will help DUPR Coach reach more coaches and clubs across racquet sports.
Special Offer for RSPA Coaches
RSPA-certified Pickleball members can add DUPR Coach for only $50, which saves them $200. This offer helps coaches stay ahead in the fast-growing pickleball world with tools that make them stand out.
Certified RSPA coaches will now have access to DUPR’s Coach-Assigned Rating system. They can rate players in person or through video and give them an official DUPR rating even if they don’t have one yet.
Brian Dillman, CEO of RSPA, said, “The addition of DUPR Coach to the RSPA Pickleball Certification is more than a feature; it’s a shift in what it means to be a coach. For the first time in our industry, professionals will leave a certification workshop with not just training, but with the immediate ability to improve their bottom line. This is a certification built for the future of coaching.”
New Ways for Coaches to Earn
With DUPR Coach, certified professionals can offer rating services and host DUPR Assessment Events. They can also lead skill-building sessions to help players earn and improve their ratings while making new income streams.
The RSPA Pickleball Certification was designed with top pickleball educators. It includes lessons on coaching and details on becoming a DUPR Coach.
RSPA holds workshops all over the United States in 17 divisions.
Growing the Sport Together
Tito Machado, CEO of DUPR, said, “Coaches are the key to growing pickleball at every level. By adding DUPR Coach along with the RSPA certification, we’re giving them real tools to lead with education, credibility, and a new way to earn. This partnership is about empowering coaches to build stronger programs and stronger communities.”
Katie Nimitz, President of My Journey Pickleball, shared, “RSPA’s adoption of DUPR Coach and its reach to more than 14,000 members signals a powerful commitment to growing the game of pickleball. Now, over 4,000 country and racquet clubs will be equipped to meet the sport’s rapid growth and generate meaningful income for their coaching programs and facilities.”
Millions of players in the U.S. still do not have ratings. The RSPA Pickleball Certification with DUPR Coach aims to solve this problem by giving coaches the knowledge and tools to guide new players and build stronger pickleball programs.
