Pickleball—considered the United States’ fastest growing sport—has found a home at Sandals Resorts and Beaches Resorts, which now possess the most courts under the Caribbean sun, earning them the designation as the “Official All-Inclusive Resorts” of USA Pickleball, the National Governing Body for the sport. This exclusive partnership elevates the all-inclusive pickleball action across their properties with new programming, staff training, quality equipment standards and plans for enhanced courts and facilities.
The designation follows a comprehensive site visit to the resorts’ pickleball facilities, with USA Pickleball providing expert guidance on layouts, design, materials and entertainment areas for future development. The partnership introduces USA Pickleball-approved coaches on-resort, making Sandals and Beaches the first resort company to have staff undergo official training for guest instruction. Additional benefits include co-branded events, private and group lessons with professionals, themed vacation packages, tournaments and partnership with USA Pickleball’s Golden Ticket Tournaments and National Championships.
