Cebuano pickleball coach Juvey Veloso earns ICA certification

CEBU, Philippines — Pickleball in Cebu has gained another milestone with the international recognition of one of its coaches.

Cebuano coach Juvey Veloso has been named by the International Coaches Association (ICA), a United Kingdom-based organization, as one of only three certified ICA tutor/coach educators in the Philippines, alongside John Altiche and Jet Tangalin.

The confirmation was announced by ICA Director of Coach Education Philippe Ghostine Matta through the organization’s official page, recognizing Veloso’s authority to train, assess and certify coaches in the country under international standards.

The recognition marks a significant milestone not only for Veloso but also for Cebu’s growing pickleball community.

Previously, Cebuano players aspiring to become internationally certified coaches had to travel to Manila or abroad to undergo the necessary training.

With Veloso now based in Cebu, aspiring coaches can pursue ICA certification without having to leave the province.

As an ICA coach educator, Veloso is authorized to conduct ICA courses in Cebu and assess coaches seeking certification as international professional pickleball coaches.

For a start, Veloso will conduct a certification course in Cebu City on November 28.
