OUR PURPOSE
Our mission is simple— to better the game and administration of pickleball, not only in the United States but around the world.
Pickleball is one of a kind. Anyone from ages 1 0 to 95 can pick up a paddle and become proficient in a matter of days.
With that in mind, we’re dedicated to expanding participation in pickleball, as well as fostering a community of passionate players who will build, create, evolve, and expand the sport.
WHAT IS PICKLEBALL?
Pickleball is a fun, social, and competitive sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and ping-pong. It’s played both indoors and outdoors on a court about half the size of a tennis court, with a slightly lower net.
Players of all ages and any skill level can enjoy the game as doubles or singles. All it takes is a ball and a paddle (both are available at our facilities) to get involved.
With over 36.5 million players and a staggering growth rate of 223.5% from 2021 to 2024, pickleball is rapidly becoming a dominant force in the sports industry. This explosive growth highlights a tremendous opportunity for investment and expansion, making it the perfect time to join this thriving and ever-expanding market.
So, why not see what its all about today?
