Yes. A pickleball club can add a wellness referral revenue line by sharing one QR code or personal link with its members and earning a fixed monthly marketing fee for each active referred member, all without doing any clinical work.
Pickleball is one of the fastest-growing sports in the country, and the clubs behind it have exactly the kind of active, social membership that makes a wellness referral line an easy amenity to add. If your club runs open play, a member app, a front desk, or a group text, you already have the pieces you need.
Why pickleball clubs fit
Pickleball members show up often, know each other, and talk. That combination of frequency and word of mouth is what makes a referral perk land. People trust a recommendation that comes from a place they already choose to spend their time.
A few reasons the fit is natural:
- Members visit regularly, so a QR code on court signage or at the front desk gets seen again and again.
- The community is social and health-minded, so a wellness benefit feels on-brand rather than out of place.
- Clubs already communicate through newsletters, apps, and league groups, which are the exact channels for sharing a link.
- Nothing about the amenity competes with lessons, leagues, or pro shop sales. It sits alongside them.
The result is a member perk that doubles as recurring revenue, without asking your staff to sell anything or change how the club runs.
How the member referral line works
Your club joins the MedStands partner program and gets one group QR code and a personal link. You place them where members already look: the app, the newsletter, court-side signage, or the benefits page.
The model in plain terms:
- Join free and connect a bank account once.
- Share your club link or QR code with members.
- A member scans or clicks, then completes their own telehealth intake with the platform.
- An independent licensed provider reviews the request, and a licensed pharmacy handles anything prescribed, including refills and shipping.
- Your club earns a fixed marketing fee for each active referred member, paid to your bank every month for as long as that member stays active.
Members who sign up through your club link are attributed to you automatically, with lifetime tracking, so the credit stays with the club over time.

What the club does and does not do
This is the part that keeps the model simple and safe: the club stays entirely on the marketing side of the line. You share a link. Every clinical decision belongs to licensed professionals.
What your club never does:
- No prescribing, and no medical advice of any kind.
- No inventory, no vials, no fridge, no fulfillment.
- No deciding who qualifies, and no promising any result.
It helps to name the category plainly. GLP-1 receptor agonists (glucagon-like peptide-1) such as semaglutide, and dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonists such as tirzepatide, are commonly discussed for weight management. Whether any option is appropriate for a given member is a decision the licensed provider makes after reviewing the request, and not everyone qualifies. MedStands is LegitScript-certified and is not a medical practice, so your club never touches medication or eligibility.
The fixed monthly marketing fee per active member
The fee your club earns is a fixed marketing fee, set in advance, for each active referred member. It is a flat, agreed amount. It is not a commission, not a percentage of sales, and not a share of what anyone spends on a prescription. Because it is fixed and recurring, your club can plan around it like any other revenue line, using it to support programming, open play, or league costs you already fund.
Launching at no cost
Adding this line costs the club nothing. It is $0 to join: no setup fee, no monthly fee, and nothing to buy. You connect a bank account once, share your link, and let the licensed clinical team handle the rest.
