Interesting article from the April 2019 edition of Tennis Industry publication about the growth of the Professional Pickleball Registry teaching certification:
"Professional Pickleball Registry Tops 1,000 Members in 6 Months.
Professional Pickleball Registry (PPR) finished 2018 exceeding 1,000 members in six months. As of mid-February, PPR membership stood at 1,161, making it the world’s largest organization of pickleball coaches, with members in all 50 states and 11 countries. “Several factors led to this amazing growth,” says PPR CEO Dan Santorum. “First, our strong and supportive relationship with USA Pickleball has brought pickleball coaches to PPR. In addition, PTR members who offer pickleball currently make up the majority of PPR. Also, Sarah Ansboury’s expertise and hard work conducting 40 PPR workshops in less than six months were integral to the rapid growth of the sport of pickleball.” USA Pickleball Association CEO Justin Maloof adds, “Not only is the growth of PPR impressive, it is a direct result of the quality instruction and great customer service PPR provides to its members. "PPR has been a positive addition to pickleball and has been extremely helpful to USA Pickleball.”"
