Does the $5.00 fee multiplied by the number of club participants (club insurance fees) entitle participants of Official Clubs to play in USA Pickleball Sanctioned Tournaments or must they become full USA Pickleball members at $35.00 per person?
The $5.00 does not entitle participants to full USA Pickleball member benefits or the ability to play in USA Pickleball Sanctioned Tournaments and events. Club participants seeking full USA Pickleball benefits would need to join USA Pickleball as individual members. Only the club is recognized as a member of USA Pickleball with the Official Club Membership, not the individual club participants.
