Governance
How PFI organises leadership, committees, and accountability.
Padel Federation Ireland governance is organised around officer roles, board oversight, standing committees, federation accountability, and public federation documents.

Understand the main leadership, committee, and accountability routes behind federation decisions.
Officer roles

Committees
Standing committees support finance, marketing, technical, competition, child welfare, clubs, schools, coaching, and umpiring areas.
Public records
Governance connects with the constitution, statutes, AGM information, reports, and public documents.
Officers and Board
PFI governance material lists core officer roles for the federation: President, Honorary Treasurer, and Honorary Secretary. These roles sit within the wider board and committee structure that supports decision-making across the sport.
The board provides overall authority, while committees help manage specialist areas of federation work and report back through the governance structure.
- President leadership role.
- Honorary Treasurer and Honorary Secretary officer roles.
- Board oversight of federation activity.
- Delegation of work through standing committees.
Standing Committees
PFI standing committees provide focused support for the main operational areas of the federation. The live governance and statutes material describes committees responsible to the board and subject to its overall authority.
- Finance and Marketing Committee.
- Technical Committee.
- Competitions, Disciplinary, and Child Welfare Committee.
- Clubs, Schools, and Third Level Colleges Committee.
- Umpiring Committee and Coaching Committee.
Meetings and Accountability
Governance accountability depends on regular meetings, minutes, reporting, quorum rules, voting procedures, and clear links between committees and the board. The Constitution / Statutes page gives the formal governance detail.
- Standing committees meet and report through the board structure.
- AGM information connects federation governance with annual reporting.
- Public documents keep governance, policy, and accountability material easy to find.
