About

Pickle Pro Labs (PPL) was founded by a team of leading sporting goods industry professionals with extensive backgrounds in sports-related equipment standards development, performance testing and product compliance. The team’s collective experience includes decades of working closely with the governing bodies and major equipment manufacturers in Golf, Baseball, Softball, Football and Tennis. In many instances, the founders’ efforts have been foundational to some of the longest standing, most effective equipment compliance programs in sports.

Having experienced first-hand the challenge of implementing new standards in established sports markets and how this negatively impacted participation and the market in general, the founders seek to work closely with the governing bodies of Pickleball to help these governing bodies evaluate their current performance and compliance standards and to help them improve their implementation and, in some cases, improve the processes altogether. Given the budding nature and rapid growth of Pickleball, there is a real urgency to move forward with a single, unified performance and compliance program to help protect the integrity of the game and to eliminate the potential for product-related issues from having a negative impact on the growing market.
