The USA Pickleball Membership "Grace Period "has been eliminated. This is where, although the membership had expired, the member stayed in an "Active" status for an additional 30 days · Now, when the membership expires, the Membership is put in a "dropped" status, for non-payment of dues, when the membership actually expires.
This also means that the Ambassador designation is automatically removed, as always, when the membership has been placed into the "dropped" status. USAPA is adding a notice 60 day prior and will keep the 30 days prior, 3 days prior, and one at Expiration Date notice. More time on the front end to remind players their membership is about to expire.
