Heritage Pickle-ball’s journey began in 1972 with the establishment of Pickle-Ball Inc., the first pickleball company, forever changing the landscape of this dynamic sport. We honor the legacy of pickleball’s founders and the spirit of 1965, the year the game was invented, by bringing new life to the original game.

We launched on September 21st, 2023, with a commitment to providing high-quality apparel, paddles, and accessories designed specifically for pickleball enthusiasts. We’re passionate about preserving the sport’s roots while infusing it with modern style. Our iconic logo, featuring the historic dash, symbolizes our commitment to both pickleball’s rich history and our forward-thinking approach. From vibrant colors to unique designs, our gear allows players to proudly express their love for the game on and off the court.
