WHAT VALUE IS THERE IN KNOWING YOUR CURRENT SKILL LEVEL.

WHAT VALUE IS THERE IN KNOWING YOUR CURRENT SKILL LEVEL.

A frequently asked question by many up and coming pickleball players is “where do I really stand in regards to my skill level?”
They often self-rate over and above what they should be rated. Or they let some local self-anointed pickleball guru tell them what their skill levels are, and who they should be playing with.  
The IPTPA Rating System accurately rates players all over the country and the world, in a standardized manner. A 3.5 player rated in Maryland will have the exact same skill sets as a 3.5 player rated in the Villages of Florida.
The Objective of the IPTPA Rating System is that there is no body to hide behind. It’s “you” the candidate the entire time that demos if you can do the shot & make the right choice of shot selection and use your full repertoire of all the skills you have learned.           
The IPTPA Skill Rating Test is 100% objective.  There is no subjectivity to the IPTPA System. Nor is it based solely on tournament scores and playing conditions.
The candidate can attend a private coaching clinic to address these required skills conducted by an IPTPA Certified Rating Specialist (CRS).
IPTPA Official Ratings are recognized by the USAPA, IFP, WPF, and the USTPA.
Starting in mid-April, I am scheduling three (3) separate indoor “Skill Prep Clinics (DTBA). There will be one clinic for candidates seeking a 3.0 rating, one clinic for candidates seeking a 3.5 rating and one clinic for candidates seeking a 4.0 rating.
Attendance will be limited to 8 participants, and the registration fee is $15 per person. Registration is now open by email bhdpal@verizon.net.
Fees will be collected at the beginning of each clinic.
Any questions please feel free to contact me at 410-852-0550

     UNFORCED ERRORS A PICKLEBALL PLAYERS WORST NIGHTMARES (By Joe Palmere Jr. December 15, 2013)   ARE YOU ‘IN A PICKLE’ OVER YOUR PICKLEBALL GAME?  You cannot understand why after a couple years of serious court time, you have not advanced to a higher skill level.  Are you traumatized at game time with any of the following symptoms: feel intimidated by better players; embarrassed by mere thought of another poor performance; feelings of fatigue and a lack of energy; no self-confidence, high expectations to lose near every games; feel like walking of the court in mid-game; wake up in the middle of the night drenched in sweat or worst yet, quit the “fun friendly game” that you once loved.  If So, you are suffering from “unforced error syndrome.” With the ever-increasing numbers of new players in our sport, “unforced  error syndrome”  is reaching near epidemic proportions.

   HOW TO GO FROM A 3.0 TO A 4.0 IN 3 DAYS ?\ "Coach Joe"    6/2/ 2021   I was bewildered by an ad in a well known pickleball magazine by a big time coaching service that travels the country making 3.0 players into 4.0 players after finishing their 15 hour course., I cannot dispute this claim because I have not attended this workshop. If anyone has attended it, please let me know the results. Did you start the course as a 3.0 and at the end your rating jumped to 4.0? I was "bewitched, bothered and bewildered" by an ad in a popular pickleball magazine by a big time traveling coaching service that claims to make 3.0 players into 4.0 players after finishing a 15 hour workshop. I can not dispute or refute this claim. The tab for this amazing conversion is one "William McKinley ," one "U lysses S. Grant, and one Andy Jackson.   Assuredly I do not have the tournament credentials of these masterful coaches. Nor can my 79 year old poorly functioni...

RESPONSE COMMENTS MADE TO MEMBERS OF THE FACEBOOK PICKLEBALL INSTRUCTORS FORUM IN REGARDS TO THE JULY 21, 2018 PPR COACHING CERTIFICATION WORKSHOP FLAWED PERFORMANCE EVALUATION PROCESS RESPONSE ONE; In response to requests from Facebook Pickleball Instructors Forum Members  regarding the events at the July 21, 2018 PPR Coaching Certification Workshop at Palmetto Dunes Tennis Center, Hilton Head SC, I am providing herein a summary of my observations. ”as an attendee at that Workshop. During the Workshop, I received several unsolicited apologies from Clinicians, for (1) standing courtside outdoors, for 12 hours in the July (SC) heat and humidity, (2) a confused and conflicted management of time, and (3) a distracting "hurried" instructional process.  The PPR Clinicians failed to provide me any “reasonable accommodations” in evaluating my performance  for age related (77 years)  mobility issues. My physical capacity to perform “textbook stroke...
