The Association of Pickleball Players (APP) and the American Cancer Society are starting National Pickleball Month with the official launch of the APP National Pickleball Challenge, now live via theapp.global/give.  

The APP National Pickleball Challenge tasks participants to play pickleball ten times during the month and track their active minutes, competing for a spot atop the national leaderboard. Whether it’s playing a competitive match, enjoying a casual match with friends, cardio training, or bouncing a ball up and down on a paddle, any pickleball-related activity will count towards the challenge.  

Participants can register and start fundraising today on theapp.global/give and start tracking their pickleball activity all April long via the Stridekick mobile application or manually. APP pros such as Megan Fudge and Ryler DeHeart are joining the challenge, and participants can compete alongside them to see how their pickleball activity stacks up against the best in the world. All challengers that generate $25 in donations will receive a free “Strength & Hope” t-shirt from the American Cancer Society and the top ten fundraisers will receive a revolutionary OWL Sport paddle from the APP.
