International Pickleball Week is June 1-7, 2010
Email from David Johnson-
reetings from David Johnson - Media Chair, USAPA
I have recently taken on the role of Media Chair for the USAPA and am excited to introduce a major promotional push for the week of June 1-7, 2010 around the theme of International Pickleball Week. As you know from your role as an Ambassador, the sport of pickleball is growing rapidly throughout the U.S., Canada, and indeed the world.
The USAPA plans on generating lots of publicity on a national, regional, and local level. On the national level we are hoping to generate media coverage in national publications and on radio and TV. Creativity and fun will be a large part of our efforts and we hope to have the support of the Ambassadors on a local level.
We have some ideas for local events and efforts:
Press releases to local media (I can help here with templates, media contacts, etc.)
Intro clinics
For the public
For schools and PE teachers
For rec. centers, YMCAs, summer camps, etc.
Tournaments
Celebrity Matches
Mayors and other government officials
Reporters, TV anchors
Local sports celebrities
Mixed generation matches
Local and state proclamations
Gently used equipment drives so others can start playing the sport
We also know that we have lots of creative people playing the sport who can help us come up with other interesting ideas on how we can promote pickleball. We want to share ideas over the next few months so good ideas can be used by all. Feel free to start conversions on the How-to board. We will recognize the best ideas and implementations at the end of the International Pickleball Week.
Local communities do not need to do something every day of the celebration week - only what works for their location and organization.
Hopefully you will spread the word and help us celebrate pickleball in early June. This is a great way to introduce the best cross-generational sport in the world to a wider audience.
Please feel free to contact me with questions, ideas, and comments:

Thanks to all of you for the great efforts you are already making on behalf of the sport.
David
P.S. Also feel free to contact me about any other media issues you might have. I can assist with dealing with the press, supporting materials, contacts and much more.
