ABOUT US
The Picklehood was born in the small town of Carlsbad, New Mexico, where the tumbleweeds and rattlesnakes roam.
The word “Picklehood” just felt right…
In that small town, after spending endless weeknights and weekends with pickleball friends coming from all different walks of life (painters, doctors, business owners, dentists, oil field workers, janitors, teachers, engineers etc.)… these people became some of our closest friends….
…our pickleball family.
We like to think of the Picklehood as a combo of a brotherhood or sisterhood and a neighborhood mixed with pickleball. A community of Pickleball loving friends that help each other grow.
We created this site, The Picklehood, as a way to continue to foster community in the pickleball world and to continue to share the joy of it amongst each other. Aside from our sport tingling our competitive funny bones, and it being a great way to decrease sedentary time and get exercise in for all ages….
…a lot of times pickleball just feels like a big party, that’s on repeat, daily.
Our company’s mission is simple: to create fun apparel and giftable items that keep the joy, laughter, fun, and love of the game in mind.
We hope that our goods inspire many smiles and memorable moments.
As the parents of two young kids, we’re hoping to leave a legacy of hard work, determination, and heart for our kids as we dedicate our time and efforts into the pickleball community.
We hope as we grow, we will be able to continue to giveback to great causes, help sponsor tournaments that help those less fortunate, and help spread the goodness that pickleball has created, beyond the courts.
So if you play pickleball, and you find community and joy in the sport, you’re in the right place.
Welcome to the Picklehood.
We hope you’ll follow along on our journey by email and on social media where we share funny memes, discounts, our latest drops and more.
