USSP is a division of SSIPA for players living in the United States.

Seniors have been the bedrock and foundation of pickleball since the start of pickleball’s unprecedented growth. Senior players deserve the respect and service that can only be given to them through an organization like US Senior Pickleball. USSP is being built by seniors for seniors.

SSIPA will continue, but, as the international division of the non-profit corporation.

No, all current SSIPA members will automatically become members of both USSP and SSIPA. Will other association memberships be required to play in USSP tournaments? No, only membership in USSP will be required.

USSP will approve quality tournaments to be listed on the website and be included as a circuit event. No other sanctioning process will be followed.

The Point Award program awards points when players that are a USSP member and play in a USSP approved tournament. At the end of the year, the top ten finishers will receive awards for their efforts in each of the age brackets.

PickleballBrackets.com will be used for circuit events. This software is being used successfully in the US, Canada and Australia.

PickleballBrackets.com has a seamless built-in ratings system that has been customized for senior players. This system has been tested and verified. USSP will have the ability to adjust this rating system to meet the needs of our members.

Membership cost will remain at $20 per year and multiple year membership options will remain the same for 2023.

This non-profit association will continue to run in a fully transparent manner with all financial records posted on the website and open board elections voted on by the membership.

We are adding tournaments on a weekly basis and if there is not a tournament in your area, please have the clubs in your area contact us so we can sponsor more tournaments.
