Ace Pickleball, DoorDash Strike Multiyear Partnership Featuring In-Club Delivery
A newly inked deal between Ace Pickleball Club and DoorDash will serve players with ultimate convenience between matches
Ace Pickleball Club (APC) and DoorDash have entered into a multi-year partnership to bring added convenience to members, allowing them to order groceries, sporting equipment and other essentials, including supplements through DoorDash’s retail partnership with The Vitamin Shoppe, in between games.
Under the agreement, DoorDash becomes the official on-demand delivery and pickup platform of APC. Each club will feature a designated DoorDash Delivery Zone where members and guests can receive their orders along with access to a range of discounted promotions on eligible deliveries to their local club.
“This partnership brings together two brands committed to community and convenience, and we’re proud to support pickleball players and fans of the sport—both on and off the court,” DoorDash head of brand partnerships Ariel Gambardella said. “From pre-match fuel and weekly groceries to recovery items and gear, we look forward to helping Ace Pickleball Club members spend less time managing logistics and more time playing the sport they love.”
The agreement also designates DoorDash as a multi-year sponsor of the members-only Ace Pickleball Club Championship Series, a competition that runs across all APC locations and culminates in a national championship with a $250,000 prize pool.
Jay Diederich, APC CEO, said the partnership reflects the company’s focus on enhancing the member experience. The pickleball club promotes an all-day open play model on its professional-grade courts, which are divided by skill level and are equipped with PlaySight technology, providing instant highlight reels to players’ phones. Membership includes unlimited play and access to mixers, tournaments, clinics and the championship series.
“Everything we do at Ace Pickleball Club is geared towards delivering an incredible experience for our members,” Diederich said. “Our team is always looking not only to enhance our member experience within our clubs but also in their everyday lives, and DoorDash is the perfect partner to help us do exactly that. Partnering with DoorDash lets us bring that commitment to life in new ways—making it easier for our members to play more games and still get what they need, when they need it. We believe this partnership truly enhances our overall member experience.”
The partnership builds on a period of rapid growth for APC, which expects more than 35 clubs in 21 state to be open across the U.S. by early 2026.
