Pickle-Ball, Inc. was founded in 1972 by the McCallum family who were the co-inventors of Pickleball back in 1965. In the 1970's as Pickleball grew from a vacation home backyard game to a real sport played throughout the United States, our founders decided to create a company to handle the design, manufacturing, and distribution of Pickleball paddles, balls, nets, and more. That company is now known as Pickle-ball, Inc.
