SAN FRANCISCO/ROSWELL - DoorDash (NASDAQ:DASH), which has demonstrated robust growth with a 23.78% increase in revenue over the last twelve months according to InvestingPro data, and Ace Pickleball Club announced Thursday a multi-year partnership that will bring on-demand delivery services to pickleball players at club locations across the United States.

The agreement designates DoorDash as the "Official On-Demand Delivery & Pickup Platform" of Ace Pickleball Club, establishing dedicated delivery zones at each club location where members can receive their orders.

Club members will receive exclusive benefits including discounted promotions on eligible deliveries to their local facilities. The service will allow players to order food, groceries, sporting equipment and other essentials between games without leaving the courts.

As part of the partnership, DoorDash will also sponsor the Ace Pickleball Club Championship Series, a members-only tournament that culminates in a national championship featuring a $250,000 prize pool.

"This partnership brings together two brands committed to community and convenience," said Ariel Gambardella, Head of Brand Partnerships at DoorDash, in a press release statement.

Jay Diederich, CEO of Ace Pickleball Club, said the collaboration aligns with the company’s focus on enhancing member experiences both within clubs and in their daily lives.

Ace Pickleball Club expects to have more than 35 locations across 21 states by early 2026. The partnership aims to integrate convenience services with the active lifestyle of pickleball enthusiasts, allowing members to maximize their playing time while still accessing essential items.
