The International Federation has created a new platform to support its national affiliates: the FIP Academy, a system designed to develop technical and refereeing sectors and to offer a comprehensive global training pathway.
The first stage of the FIP Academy will be the launch of the Coaching Program, which will be fully online and available soon. This is the starting point of a broader journey that, over the coming months, will unfold through new levels delivered in various formats, tailored to meet the needs of coaches worldwide.
At the same time, the platform will host the Officiating Program and the FIP Lab, a space dedicated to innovation and research. Additional projects will soon be added, contributing to the creation of a true international training ecosystem.
To officially open this new chapter, FIP today released the official FIP Academy presentation trailer. This content aims not only to introduce the platform, but also to convey its vision: a sport with unified training standards, where coaches and referees can access high-quality development opportunities regardless of where they live or work—reflecting the importance that the International Padel Federation places on the education of its professionals for the global growth of the sport.
