The Association of Pickleball Players (APP) has partnered with RacquetX, the world’s pioneering all-racquet sports conference, and experience, to spotlight pickleball as the foremost contender among racquet sports. 

The APP and RacquetX will offer joint tickets so attendees can experience two exciting events taking place at the Miami Beach Convention Center.

Unique Collaboration

This unique collaboration coincides with the APP Tour’s inaugural major tournament of 2024: the Chase APP Miami Pickleball Open, scheduled for March 24-26 in Miami, Florida.

Pickleball’s exponential growth, with over 50 million adult Americans engaging in the sport in the past year alone, solidifies its status as the nation’s fastest-growing sport.

Through this partnership, the APP aims to broaden pickleball’s reach to a wider audience at RacquetX. The partnership includes a substantial on-site presence by the APP a. It offers a bundled ticket option for enthusiasts to enjoy both RacquetX and the Championship Sunday at the 2024 Chase APP Miami Pickleball Open for just $35.

Additionally, Tom Webb, the Chief Marketing Officer of the APP, will serve as a featured speaker at RacquetX, providing insights into the APP’s remarkable growth within the sport and its strategic plans to support pickleball players of all ages and skill levels.

“A Tremendous Presence”

Webb commented, “As global leaders and advocates for pickleball, the Association of Pickleball Players is honored to share our love and expertise for the sport with the world as an official partner of RacquetX.

The event will be a celebration and gathering place for pickleball fans everywhere, and the APP will have a tremendous presence. We have always highlighted pickleball as a sport for everyone, regardless of age or skill, RacquetXis an exciting platform to continue to expand and engage with the pickleball community.”

Robyn Duda, co-founder of RacquetX, was equally enthusiastic about the project, saying, “It’s such an exciting time for the growth of pickleball. We are thrilled to have the Association of Pickleball Players as a partner during our inaugural RacquetX. 

“The Chase APP Miami Pickleball Open will be a fun event for our audience to visit, whether you are an existing fan or new to the sport. Miami is the place to be for racquet sports on March 24.”

Top Pickleball Professionals And Amateurs

RacquetX will be located in close proximity to the Chase APP Miami Pickleball Open, offering attendees the opportunity to engage with top pickleball professionals and amateurs. The event encourages collaboration and innovation across various racquet sports disciplines, including tennis, pickleball, and padel. 

Attendees can explore the latest pickleball technologies, connect with fellow enthusiasts, and gain insights from industry experts, including Tom Webb and Andrei Daescu, the 2023 APP Tour gold medalist. More details are available at theracquetx.com.

Enhanced Prize Pools

The 2024 Chase APP Miami Pickleball Open boasts enhanced prize pools for professionals and serves as one of the APP’s five “Golden Ticket” events. These events provide all players the chance to automatically qualify for the 2024 USA Pickleball National Championships by securing a gold medal in their tournament bracket. Additionally, the six-day tournament aligns with the inaugural APP Atlantic Cup, a historic event featuring Team USA against Team Europe in the first-ever international team pickleball competition.

To commemorate the APP’s expansion into Miami, Chase will host a special event on Friday, March 22, welcoming players, fans, and locals. The event will feature live music and culinary delights from Miami’s vibrant food scene.

When I first started writing about pickleball, I hadn't appreciated the huge range of related features it encompasses: from building communities and players fighting against court closures to overcoming health challenges and raising money for charity, it's a whole new world! I love the stories about the smaller towns from the farthest-flung corners of the U.S. and how those residents have adopted pickleball to create friendships and community spirit.
