Make Pickleball an Asset to the Community: Our Mission, Milestones, and Whats Next

Three years ago, before All Florida Pickleball was even a business, I had a simple mission in mind:

“Make pickleball an asset to the community.”

That line became our slogan, our compass, and the heart of everything we’ve done since.

Day 1.

Back then, our very first event was the Superhero Tournament. It wasn’t just a pickleball tournament—it was a movement. We raised over $1,000 in toys for kids during the holidays, launched a Special Olympics program, and of course… had some intense, laugh-filled matches. For those who were there, you’ll remember my very long pre-game speech—something that’s become a trademark of our events.

Some of the people from that very first tournament are still with us today—as friends, business partners, and community builders. Together, we’ve helped install courts, launch programs in areas desperate for activity, and spread pickleball into communities where it’s now thriving.

Along the way, we’ve been fortunate to team up with some incredible organizations:

• USA Pickleball, serving as a District Ambassador to help grow the sport.

• DUPR, hosting rating sessions and bringing the first-ever Minor League Pickleball for amateurs to life.

• MLP (Major League Pickleball), where we’ve traveled the country making sure amateur events are run at the highest standard.

  
  

And right here at home, All Florida Pickleball has been voted #1 Event Provider in Florida two years in a row—no small feat in the best (and most competitive) pickleball state in the country.

We’ve even partnered with big names like Amazon, NASA, and The Dink to create experiences that bring people together both on and off the court. The Courted Series is changing the way players connect with brands and giving facilities fresh ways to attract members of all levels.

Here’s the exciting part: we’re just getting started.

The future of All Florida Pickleball is about staying true to our mission while growing in bold new directions:

• More team events & leagues that keep the passion for play alive.

• Expansion into new pro leagues, especially in markets that need them most.

• Unique social formats that make every event feel fresh and fun.

• Bigger opportunities for players chasing their pro dreams.

• Unforgettable community events—from charity tournaments to pickleball nights at major sports venues.

  
  

Mark my words: in 2026, people will be saying, “How the heck are they pulling all this off?” followed by, “I can’t wait to play another one.”

To everyone who has played, sponsored, worked, volunteered, or partnered with us you’re the reason this dream keeps moving forward. Your belief in All Florida Pickleball means everything to us.

While we may expand beyond Florida, this state will always be our home base. Florida isn’t just the best place for pickleball, it’s the heartbeat of our story.

And we’re just getting warmed up.
