Affiliate Disclosure

Effective Date: January 1, 2025 | Last Updated: 2025

  Plain English Summary: Some links on this site earn us a small commission if you click them and make a purchase or booking. You pay the same price either way. We only link to things we think are genuinely useful to pickleball players.

FTC Compliance

USAPickleballs.com participates in affiliate marketing programs in compliance with the Federal Trade Commission’s guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (FTC 16 CFR Part 255). This disclosure page, along with in-context disclosures on relevant pages and posts, satisfies our obligation to be transparent about material connections to advertisers and affiliate partners.

What Is Affiliate Marketing?

Affiliate marketing is a performance-based advertising model. When we include a link to a product, service, or booking platform and you click that link and complete a qualifying action (such as a purchase, reservation, or sign-up), we receive a small commission from the merchant. This commission comes from the merchant’s marketing budget — it does not add anything to the price you pay.

Our Affiliate Partners

USAPickleballs.com may earn commissions through affiliate relationships with programs including, but not limited to:

Travel & Booking: Expedia, VRBO, Viator, Klook, and similar travel affiliate networks
Pickleball Gear: Amazon Associates and specialty pickleball retailers
Court Booking Platforms: Court reservation services and related apps
Other Services: Any additional affiliate relationships will be disclosed on the relevant page

Amazon Associates

USAPickleballs.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.

Our Editorial Commitment

Affiliate relationships do not influence our court listings, editorial content, or recommendations. Court data is compiled from public sources and is not paid placement. When we recommend a product or service, it is because we believe it offers genuine value to pickleball players — not because of the commission structure.

How to Identify Affiliate Links

Affiliate links may appear in articles, recommendations, travel guides, and other content across the site. Where practical, we note affiliate links with language such as “affiliate link,” “we may earn a commission,” or similar disclosures near the link itself.

Questions

If you have questions about our affiliate relationships or any specific link on this site, contact us and we’ll be happy to clarify.
