If people have a positive experience — they stay in pickleball

Why NCCP?

An organized system of measuring skill development is key to performance improvement

Doug Brenner

PCI-Certified Rating Assessment Instructor

A rating establishes a player’s skill level relative to an objective standard. For example, a League Organizer may require players to be rated before participating in league play at a certain level.

They can establish their own criteria for rating players to establish the league standard.

Pickleball Coaching International uses an on-court rating system that tests players performance in a series of drills. This sets a benchmark for grouping players according to their rating system.

During Play To Win Pickleball’s initial Introduction & Player Assessment, Doug uses a standardized template for scoring that is shared with the student. This provides a benchmark to measure the player’s skill development over the six week lesson series.
