New Partner announced!

Hey Pickleball Fans,

We’re pleased to announce that we’ve officially partnered with the Recreational Pickleball Players Association!

The Recreational Pickleball Players Association was founded with a simple mission: To create a place where players can find community online.  As the first association dedicated to rec players, they celebrate Pickleball as a lifestyle and cherish the relationships this sport has helped them create. 

Pickleball was a lifesaver during covid and the communities they created locally became like families.  they wanted to extend that feeling of community nationwide both online and in the real world. 

Their Members Directory allows players to message each other directly, create groups and to post details of events and happenings, as well as search our General Calendar for both local and national events. 

Their Facebook group allows players to share tips and stories and resources with the whole community. We’ve all been a part of What’s App Groups where we share a meetup invite and within seconds, 100 new messages push that notice into oblivion and the meetup invite is lost. Or worse, group texts where the pinging never stops!

At no charge, premium members can post about local events whether it’s a Drill Meetup, a round robin or local tournament on the courts. They can even post about community events, like a new book club forming, or an after-game restaurant meetup off the courts.   They can share their events by sending the link out only to individual friends, or by creating a group and sharing to the group or posting it to the public for the whole community to see in the calendar.

Their resource section features training videos for all levels, flash sales by our preferred vendors and resources to help local communities in their fight to get more pickleball courts in the parks and to stave off current court closures. They will have advice and guides posted there so players and clubs have a framework to see what is working and what is not in other communities facing these issues.

Finally, they have created the first ever online directory of Pickleball related Vendors so our members can take advantage of major discounts on all things Pickleball! And each week we will spotlight some extraordinary deals, flash sales and deep discounts.

Make sure to check out RPPA as soon as you get the chance!

Happy dinking,
The Florida Pickleball Expo
