Pickleball is one of the world’s fastest-growing sports — and there is a place in it for everyone. Here is how nations, players, volunteers and partners can be part of the World Pickleball Federation.
National federations
Recognised national federations are the foundation of WPF. If your country has a governing body for pickleball, it can apply for membership and join its continental confederation. One federation per country carries the sport nationally and represents it in WPF governance.
Players & athletes
Players enter the international pathway by competing in WPF-sanctioned events run by their national federation. Results feed the WPF World Ranking. Start with your national federation in the member directory.
Volunteers & officials
Referees, coaches, organisers and volunteers keep the sport running. Development pathways for officials and coaches sit within Development; to offer your time, contact the Secretariat.
Partners
WPF welcomes partners who share our commitment to growing pickleball worldwide and to clean, fair, well-governed sport. To explore partnership, get in touch.
