When I first picked up a pickleball paddle, I never imagined it would lead me to create something as exciting and fulfilling as CrossCourt Pickleball. What started as a love for the game has transformed into a mission: to share that passion with others and to build a brand that inspires players of all levels to get on the court and play.
Starting CrossCourt wasn’t just about selling paddles; it was about building a community. From those late nights brainstorming product ideas to packing boxes in my living room (as seen in the photo above), every step of this journey has been driven by the same energy I feel when stepping onto the court. I wanted to create products that not only perform at the highest level but also reflect the fun, dynamic, and inclusive spirit of pickleball.
One of the most rewarding parts of this journey has been seeing our logo in unexpected places—whether it’s players in Puerto Rico, Kiawah Island, or New York City. It’s a reminder of how this sport brings people together, no matter where they’re from or their experience level.
Of course, starting a business has its challenges. Learning about manufacturing, logistics, and marketing on the go was no small feat, but pickleball taught me resilience and adaptability—skills I now apply daily. Watching CrossCourt grow and connect with the pickleball community has made every late night and early morning worth it.
As CrossCourt continues to grow, I’m excited about the opportunities ahead. My goal is to make pickleball accessible to everyone and ensure that every product we create helps players fall in love with the game, just as I did. Whether you're a seasoned player or just picking up a paddle for the first time, I hope CrossCourt becomes a part of your journey.
Thank you for being part of this story. Together, let’s keep building a community that celebrates the sport we all love. See you on the court!
