What are the benefits to joining PMA?
Providing confidence to your customers should not come with a premium, especially since YOU will decide what is a quality product, service or content. No need to pay exorbitant fees just for you to communicate quality in what you do.
Do I get to put the logo on everything I produce?
YES! One standard fee allows us to market the association and brands interested in growing the sport of pickleball. Therefore, we want to remove friction by allowing companies to place the PMA APPROVED logo on anything that will grow the sport, and communicate your commitment to quality.
Is this meant to replace other pickleball equipment certifications?
No, if you want to have a product available to other organizations, we encourage you to follow their standards. PMA APPROVED is meant for companies and individuals interested in growing the sport with as little interference from 3rd parties that don't know your business as well as you do.
Do I have to be a manufacturer to join PMA?
ABSOLUTELY NOT! We encourage anyone in the industry: instructors, content creators, service providers, venues, etc to support the goals of the trade organization.
