Accessibility Statement
Effective Date: May 17, 2026
Last Updated: May 17, 2026
World Pickleball Foundation is committed to making our website accessible to people of all abilities. We believe the court should belong to everyone, and that belief extends to how people experience our website. Accessibility is an ongoing priority for our organization, and we are actively working to improve our digital experience.
1. OUR COMMITMENT
We are working toward conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, which provide internationally recognized standards for making web content more accessible to people with disabilities. As a newly launched nonprofit, we recognize that our website is a work in progress, and we are committed to identifying and addressing accessibility barriers as we grow.
2. CURRENT STATUS
This website was recently launched, and we are in the early stages of our accessibility journey. We acknowledge that the site does not yet fully conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards. We are taking active steps to assess and improve accessibility, including reviewing pages for compliance, prioritizing critical fixes, and seeking guidance from accessibility resources.
If you experience a barrier on our site, we want to know. Your feedback helps us improve.
3. ONGOING IMPROVEMENTS
We are actively working on the following accessibility improvements:
Reviewing and adding descriptive text for images where applicable.
Improving color contrast across the site to support readability.
Ensuring forms include proper labels and instructions.
Structuring content with clear headings and a logical reading order.
Testing the site with keyboard-only navigation.
Reviewing compatibility with screen readers and other assistive technologies.
This list is not exhaustive, and we expect to address additional items as we continue our review.
4. ALTERNATIVE ACCESS
While we work on improving our website, we want to make sure no one is left without access to our information or programs. If you have difficulty using any part of our site, we are happy to provide the same information by email, phone, or in another format upon request.
To request alternative access, contact us using the information in Section 6 below.
5. THIRD-PARTY CONTENT
Some elements of our website are provided by third parties (such as embedded videos, social media feeds, payment processors, or external services). We do not control the accessibility of these third-party tools and cannot guarantee their conformance with accessibility standards.
