Ambassador Program

Join our network of College Athletes and College Pickleball Club Members looking for brand deals!

Harnessing Passion and Influence

At Pickle for Pay, we believe the best way to promote pickleball is through its most passionate players. Our Ambassador Program leverages the enthusiasm and influence of NIL college athletes and pickleball club members to spread the love for the sport and our brand. We source athletes and pickleball club members to model our clothes and participate in an initial picture challenge that could lead to future brand deals with other pickleball brands.

Our Ambassador Program is designed to help both athletes and pickleball players secure paid partnerships by creating authentic product endorsements and engaging content for pickleball brands. Whether you’re a varsity athlete or part of a college pickleball club, we give you the platform to showcase your passion for the game while earning income through collaborations with top pickleball companies.
