Important to Know
How PREP Works
PREP is a coaching and development program — not a credentialing body. Referee credentials are issued by USA Pickleball through their own assessment process. Our goal is to make sure you're fully prepared when you get there.
We work with you through structured training sessions, rules study, and on-court practice to build the knowledge, positioning, and confidence you need to pass your assessment and step onto the court as an official.
