It is important to note that USA Pickleball Association desires to list ALL Pickleball tournaments on the USAPA Upcoming Events Calendar - sanctioned and unsanctioned, competitive and recreational.
"A USAPA-sanctioned tournament allows players to be ranked on a national basis. Non-sanctioned tournaments may also use these sections as guidelines. Tournament directors for non-sanctioned tournaments may be flexible in the use of these guidelines to better fit the skills, ages, and diversity of their players. The USAPA enthusiastically encourages these non-sanctioned tournaments to promote knowledge, growth of the game, skill development, and having fun while playing pickleball. Tournaments may be sanctioned for the ranked events that they include even though a tournament director may also choose to include recreational or unranked events."

USAPA Ambassadors Opt-in!
"You all recently received an e-mail from Dick Manasseri inviting you to join our new USAPA How-to Group. This Google Group is the tool that you all have been waiting for. As Ambassadors you are already great leaders in promoting the sport in your local areas. This tool will take your leadership skills to the next level. Regional and Local Ambassadors across the country are sharing their success stories and providing you with detailed information to help grow pickleball and USAPA memberships in your area. Learn from those who have already walked in your shoes. Check out the mini-plans and pick a couple of things that you would like to accomplish this year. Or, partner up with another Ambassador and work as a team to build and carry out your mini plan. If each one of us sets just two goals for the year – just think how much we can accomplish as a Region. But first - just look at what's out there and share anything you have that will assist others. The group has only been up and running for less than two days as of this writing and already we have nearly 35 members on board. What are you waiting for?"
Donna Donald, USAPA Atlantic South Regional Ambassador
