How You Can Help Picklepedia Stay Independent, Unbiased & Ad-Free
Dear Legend,
Before you get your score, we wanted to Welcome you to Picklepedia’s Secret Club.
You’re now part of a very select group of readers. Since we launched in May 2025, the response from players like you has been extraordinary. Not because we’re the biggest pickleball site. Because we’re the only one you can actually trust.
As a member, you get 5 VIP PDFs packed with high-level insights. The first one — and access to four others which are part of a powerful series called The 5 Dimensions — are already waiting in your inbox. (If you don’t see it yet, check your spam or promotions tab.)
Now, here’s why that trust is rare:
Picklepedia is 100% ad-free and affiliate link free (no financial kickbacks from paddle reviews). Every other pickleball site you’ve read is funded by the brands they cover. Paddle reviews written by people earning commissions. Tips sponsored by equipment companies. Advice shaped by whoever’s paying that month.
We chose a different model. Readers fund us — which is the only reason you can believe what you read here.
So if what you just read gave you even one “aha” moment, or made you think differently about your game, we’d ask you to consider protecting that. Some of our readers are coaches running free weekly sessions for their communities using our content. Others discovered pickleball during some of the hardest periods of their lives. What they have in common is that they found somewhere they could trust — and they wanted to keep it alive.
Here’s the honest truth about what keeps this going:
Pickleball is growing fast. Right now it has almost no independent media — no voice that isn’t funded by the industry it covers. One-off donations say thank you. Monthly donations say I want this to exist in five years. That distinction is everything for a small team with no corporate backing.
We are a very small team doing our best. A monthly contribution — whatever feels fair to you — is what funds the independence, not just the content. Our monthly supporters typically give between $10 and $50 a month. What matters is that you’re in.
Monthly supporters get full access to everything inside our new app — a growing community of serious players working on their game through Challenge Drops, strategy tools, mindset training, and more. It’s where the real work happens. One-off donations are also genuinely welcome. You can see what others are donating below.
Whatever you choose — you’re helping build the resource that pickleball actually deserves.
