Highlights from USAPA #NationalsVI Dinner
One of the big events at #NationalsVI – outside of the fierce competition on the courts – is the annual Ambassador Dinner. Ambassadors are volunteers who have pledged to promote the sport of pickleball and the USAPA in the local area they have applied to represent. They may be individuals or couples, or a group of ambassadors working together as a team. The main prerequisite is a love of the sport and the desire to share our game with others of all ages. Some full-time RV’ers are Ambassadors ‘at large’ who promote our sport during their travels.
If you’re interested in learning more about becoming an ambassador in your area, visit the Ambassador Info page on USAPA.org.
Last night’s dinner attracted a full house, as reported by @PickleballRocks.
