Sponsors & partners
PBC partnerships
- Individual members — either through local Affiliated Club membership or direct application to Pickleball BC (PBC) via the Pickleball Canada (“PCO”) website. More information: become a member.
- Affiliated clubs — localized groups of players that join with a common objective of promoting and playing pickleball together. Such groups usually form a club of varying formality and sign a cooperative agreement with PBC, which includes a requirement that all members of the club join PBC and PCO. Signing the standard agreement, which includes a few other conditions, entitles the club to Affiliated status. There is no fee for a club to become affiliated.
- Associated organizations — this type of relationship fosters mutual promotion and pickleball play opportunities with multi-dimensional organizations, such as private multi-sport clubs, educational institutions, and some service clubs. The associated organization encourages their member pickleball players to join PBC and PCO. A cooperative agreement applies, with a nominal annual charge to the associated organization (confirm the current rate with Pickleball BC).
- Sponsors — this category covers many businesses, for-profit or not-for-profit, that wish to support the promotion of pickleball or have products or services to promote to the pickleball community. Advertising opportunities are available at various rates on the Pickleball BC website and in the monthly newsletter. More information: Sponsor program.
Sponsor program
Pickleball BC, established in 2017, promotes the growing sport of pickleball in British Columbia. The increase in popularity and the growth of pickleball throughout Canada and North America creates a tremendous opportunity for your company to showcase its products.
The game can be played at any level, and regardless of skill level, it develops quickness of mind, faster reflexes, and uniquely activates portions of the brain that few other sports do. It is a highly social game, bringing all ages into an environment where contact with others is a requisite part of the sport. Its benefits as a social experience are unparalleled.
From many clubs throughout BC, the thousands of players involved are a widely diverse group sharing a common love for pickleball. The primary demographics of this group represent economic clout and are a major source of discretionary spending.
Pickleball BC acts as a catalyst to support these players through an informative website and the promotion of clinics and tournaments. Sponsorships help to defray the costs associated with these activities.
Your support will help us increase the opportunities and growth of pickleball, while highlighting your company.
We offer several sponsorship options allowing a business (or an individual) to advertise and, at the same time, support pickleball in British Columbia. These are outlined below. These prices are effective January 1, 2026.
For more information or to arrange a sponsorship program for your business, please contact Pickleball BC: info@pickleballbc.ca.
