Selkirk Sport is the leading manufacturer of pickleball paddles and equipment. Brothers Mike and Rob Barnes, along with their father Jim, founded Selkirk Sport with the mission to redefine the way the world views pickleball.
Since its founding in 2014, Selkirk has grown from an upstart with 10 employees to an energetic outfit with more than 100 team members. Throughout that growth, Selkirk has revolutionized more than 15 made-in-the-USA paddles, and added more than 100 athletes to its professional lineup. Backed by the philosophy of always pushing the limits, Selkirk Sport is committed to manufacturing products that deliver the highest performance with unmatched quality and service.
Selkirk is headquartered in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, overlooking the Selkirk Mountains from which the company derives its name.
Our story began more than 45 years ago when our founder, Dr. Harry Ferrari, pioneered a way to create a pliable tennis string that mimicked the characteristics of natural gut tennis string. From there, GAMMA Sports, a family-run company located right across the river from Downtown Pittsburgh, was born!
Throughout the years, we’ve taken our experience in racquet sports and channeled it into the creation of our full-line of innovative pickleball and tennis equipment. At GAMMA, you can find everything you need from our highly-popular grip and overgrip, to paddles, court equipment, tennis strings and more!
As a family-owned and operated company, we want to make you feel like you are a part of the business! Not only will you find high-caliber pickleball and tennis equipment at GAMMA, but you’ll also be able to connect with our very own team members! Our customer service representatives are available from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday to answer every one of your needs.
So here it is – we want to help you not only find your passion for pickleball and tennis, but to also grow in the sports with us! This is where our slogan, “Never Stop Playing,” comes into play. These words not only serve as our slogan for pickleball and tennis, but also act as a constant source of motivation as we continue to help players like you find and nurture your love for our two sports. We understand that athletes have a life-long need to grow, to perform, and to strive for excellence which is why we never stop innovating and improving our technology.
With less than 30 employees, we’re still making waves in technological and design advancements so we can help you unlock your athletic potential through GAMMA.
