Getting a licence

A licence is needed to play official padel competitions in the Philippines.

Registration is via an online application form with categories for Player, Junior (under 18), Coach/Official and Club; the federation follows up with confirmation and payment details after the form is submitted, but no fee amount is published on the site. Registration creates a national player record and is required for eligibility in national championships and Philippine Padel Team selection.
