The Association of Pickleball Players (APP), the National Intramural and Recreational Sports Association (NIRSA), Selkirk Sport and USA Pickleball are joining forces to serve and grow college pickleball across the United States. Through a variety of initiatives, these five organizations are bringing their strengths to bear for the benefit of the sport, recreation and intramural administrators, and college students, resulting in more pickleball and healthier, more inclusive college communities.

“I am so grateful for the incredible collaboration between the APP, NIRSA, Selkirk and USA Pickleball,” said Shannon Dan, EVP of Strategy and Growth at the APP. “Our collective mission is to grow the game of pickleball on college campuses, and each organization has stepped up to bring meaningful benefits to college programs and players. From funding, education and equipment to technology and a national competition platform, this offering will be transformational for college pickleball.”
