    • Advise players of important USAPA Board actions, such as rules changes and other information that may affect pickleball play.
    • Maintain and expand “Places2Play” on the USAPA website within the Ambassador’s geographical area.
    • Promote goodwill with other Ambassadors, players, facility representatives, and the general public.
    • Become familiar with, support and abide by the Official Rules of Pickleball.
