We are thrilled to announce the launch of the Pickleball in the Sun Passport—your new companion for all things pickleball. We've created this to be your guide to the best courts and clubs, and there's so much more to come.

We are kicking things off by introducing our first group of Pickleball in the Sun Ambassadors! These 11 community leaders in top U.S. pickleball cities will be your go-to experts for finding the best places to play. They are passionate about the sport and will be sharing their local insights to help you get connected with the local pickleball community.

This is also a great opportunity for brands to connect with the pickleball community. We are excited to partner with brands who want to feature their products within the passport. While we're starting with a digital version, our goal is to eventually have a physical passport in the hands of players in these cities, where they can physically mark off their challenges. The world of pickleball is expanding, and your passport is your guide to all of it.

But that's just the beginning. The passport is a living adventure that will continue to grow. Soon, we'll be adding interactive challenges for you to participate in as you mark off your visits to these clubs. And for your next getaway, we'll be sharing a full section dedicated to Premier Pickleball Destinations, highlighting the best resorts for your next trip.

Be sure to follow @pickleballinthesun on Instagram for all the latest updates as we continue to roll out new features. We can't wait for you to join us on this adventure!
