Seine-Saint-Denis is building regular pickleball programs through clubs, coaches and schools, the French tennis federation reports. Three clubs now offer the sport on an ongoing basis, around twelve coaches have completed introductory certification, and about thirty primary-school teaching advisers have tried it. Weekly sessions in Aulnay-sous-Bois have filled throughout the year, drawing at least sixteen participants. The departmental committee also lends equipment kits to clubs, reducing the practical barrier to starting sessions.

The useful pattern for clubs is a connected pathway: accessible trial sessions, trained instructors and school contacts can support participation beyond a single promotional event.
At 19, Elliott Schupp has a first PPA Tour title, won in Virginia Beach with Jaume Martinez Vich, and Pickleball.com has traced how he got there. Burnt out after a decade of baseball, he first picked up a paddle at 12, playing with his grandfather in Arkansas, and spent two to three years reaching a 4.0 level before aiming for the pro game.
His grandfather capped him at two sessions a week early on to protect his enthusiasm and still coaches him, reviewing matches to find the patterns that win or lose points. Schupp now trains in Phoenix.

Schupp's path is a strong case for patient development. Coaches of young players can copy the formula: limited volume early, regular video review and goals tied to skill rather than results.
Veteran coach Tony Roig has expanded his educational work through Tony Roig Pickleball, offering online courses, weekly videos, podcasts, books and in-person camps. His curriculum prioritizes foundational skills such as returns, fourth shots and serves over advanced techniques, serving players from beginners through the PPA Tour and focusing much of its instruction on the 3.0-4.0 level.

Roig’s approach gives coaches a structured model for emphasizing match-relevant fundamentals, while athletes can access consistent instruction across digital content and in-person camps.
