Pickleball in the Sun has introduced an exclusive Ambassador Program to connect passionate players with top brands. The program, launching April 1, 2025, will select ambassadors from 11 U.S. cities to promote pickleball, engage their communities, and receive premium gear. Applications close on April 30, with selections announced in May.
Building a Network of Pickleball Leaders
The program aims to bolster pickleball’s presence nationwide by selecting ambassadors from cities with strong pickleball communities. Chosen players will promote the sport locally while engaging in special events and challenges.
Exclusive Gear and Events
Ambassadors will receive a curated kit featuring an Ivy Cut paddle, a JOOLA paddle, Franklin pickleballs, apparel from Kitch, OS1st socks, and more. They will also participate in the Pickleball in the Sun Passport challenge, encouraging play at unique courts and hosting local events every three months.
A Vision for Community Growth
“We’re excited to build a vibrant community of pickleball ambassadors who are not only passionate about the sport but also dedicated to expanding its presence nationwide,” said Laura Gainor, Founder and CEO of Pickleball in the Sun.
“This program is about more than just exclusive gear and fun challenges. It’s about fostering deeper community connections, amplifying pickleball in key markets, and encouraging players to share their love for the sport.” – (Laura Gainor)
