Why Team Pickleball is the Next Big Thing in the East Bay
Team pickleball brings everything we love about the sport and adds the camaraderie, rivalries, and community spirit of team sports. Here is why we think it is going to take off.
Pickleball has been the fastest-growing sport in the country for several years running. But something has been missing from the local community experience — the sense of belonging and shared identity that comes from playing for a team.
When you play on a team, something changes. You are not just playing for yourself anymore. You are playing for your teammates, your captain, your community. Wins feel bigger. Losses sting a little more, but they bring the team closer together.
Major League Pickleball has shown at the professional level that the team format creates compelling competition and passionate fan bases. Minor League Pickleball has been proving the same thing for elite amateur competitions across the country. Now it is our turn in the East Bay.
We can't wait to see the rivalries, the fan bases, and the community that forms around East Bay Team Pickleball. Join us!
