USA PICKLEBALL ASSOCIATION

Maintain and increase a membership base for the growth of pickleball. Promote the sanctioning of pickleball tournaments. Provide secondary player insurance for sanctioned tournaments and other sanctioned events. Implement an automated player rating system. Grow a database of places to play pickleball. Implement alliances and partnerships with other organizations to promote aspects of the sport, i.e. the Professional Pickleball Registry (PPR). Run a premier National Pickleball Championship with player qualification requirements. Establish a league program.

USA Pickleball is governed by a talented board of directors that all have diversified backgrounds and knowledge of the sport. In addition, the organization has hired permanent staff coupled with full and part-time contractors to implement the many governing board initiatives created to grow the sport.

The board of directors meet on a regular basis to review progress on the many identified initiatives. Action Plans, Deliverables, Responsibilities, Timelines and Budgets are created to properly identify and measure progress.

USA Pickleball has signed agreements with the Professional Pickleball Registry (PPR), PickleballTournaments.com (Player Ratings) and Desert Champions, LLC which runs the Indian Wells Tennis Garden - host site of our annual outdoor National Championships. On the horizon next is to develop a USA Pickleball League Program that will aid the organization of many players that do not play in tournaments but desire scheduled competition in a league organization (and allow tournament players to play others that will help their development).
