By Bill Booth, USAPA President

Thank you! More than 2100 of you have already completed the pickleball research survey. We truly appreciate your collaboration in this project.

If you have not yet been able to participate, you still can. Simply click on this link [Note: survey was closed two weeks after publication of the newsletter]. It takes about 15 minutes.

The Results: We're learning a great deal from the survey responses about your motivation for participating in pickleball, your competitive behavior, and your views of pickleball. Once the survey is finished and we have analyzed the results, we will be sharing the findings with you. We will also publish our response to many of the comments and suggestions.

We are grateful to CUNEF University and Dr. Michael Hess, professor of sport marketing and management, for designing and sponsoring the survey at no cost to the USAPA.
