pickleball new sponsor

A new and definitely necessary sponsor joins forces with Pickleball

There’s a growing epidemic of injuries plaguing our sport and it has Pickleball fans worrying so much that most took down their playing to from 7 to 6.5 days a week. Horrendous stuff.

But the Dirt Product Group came to answer our prayers. Dirt Tape products help avoid and treat injuries, and they will sponsor the 2023 Pro Tour hosted by the Professional Pickleball Association.

Excellent news ‘cause this sets a precedent in our extreme sport and now we could aim for more sponsors such as clinics, ambulances and funeral homes!

New professional league alert: Canada joins the party

It is an honor (for Canandians) to announce that the Canadian National Pickleball League has officially begun. Though this is huge news for the international development of the sport, a few questions remain:

Will it have an impact on the mainstream media? Too soon to tell.

Will it propel international clashes between the US and Canada? Too soon to tell.

Will this make Canada less boring? Yes! But slightly. There’s still a big road ahead.

Pickleball fast-paced growth might lead its way to the Olympics

Pickleball fast-paced growth might lead its way to the Olympics

Pickleball fever is real, folks, and I have all the symptoms: a perpetual urge to play, an addiction to watch games, coughing, nausea, skin rashes, body temperature over 100° Celsius…I think I should go to the doctor.

Here is the good news, though: due to its notorious exponential growth, Pickleball could eventually turn it into an Olympic sport.

Renowned players see it that way too. For instance, Hall-of-Famer Jennifer Lucore assures that the sport is not peaking. And she 's right!

Think about the new TV contracts, the Pro players, the millions of people who are playing, and the millions of people who read our website!

Ok, you guys are actually 11, but who's counting?

The only truth is these are all signs of a tremendous growth that will probably lead us to gold!
