Registrations extended for the tenth edition of the Level 1 Referee Course

Following the launch of the Coaching Programme, FIP Academy continues its path towards a global standard of excellence in Padel. In this context, registrations have been extended for the tenth edition of the Level 1 Referee Course Officiating Programme, dedicated to the preparation of international referees.

 

The aim of the Officiating Programme is to develop highly qualified professional figures. Through this course, participants will obtain the International Padel Referee – Level 1 diploma, a key qualification for those seeking to deepen their technical expertise and join the officiating framework of the International Padel Federation.

 

The course will take place from 2 June to 7 July in a bilingual format, with educational groups in English and Spanish to ensure maximum accessibility for participants. The programme includes online theoretical lessons, followed by practical on-court training at official Federation tournaments.

 

The International Padel Referee diploma qualifies participants for different officiating roles depending on the level achieved within the pathway: from the certifications required to work as on-court officials — including Court, Chair or Trainee Umpire roles at national tournaments — to the highest levels of international qualification such as Judge Umpire and Tournament Main Referee.

FIP Academy therefore continues its mission to build a shared international training standard, with the objective of supporting the global growth of Padel through accessible, high-quality educational programmes for coaches and referees.
