Court Sports

As tennis season is heating up, so are the other racket sports that have sprung up around it in recent years like pickleball, paddle and padel. (Are the latter two different sports or a British pronunciation of the same one?) Either way, I’ve heard so much about pickleball lately and not only from my dad who has been playing with his country club buddies down in Florida all winter.

Even my friend’s daughters who are in high school kicked off the season with a pickleball tournament, Pickleball4APurpose, and raised $2,500 to benefit Bored No More, a charity which provides entertaining activity bags to kids in hospitals throughout the U.S.

It seems that every age group is getting in on the action and brands are jumping in as well with sporty collabs and pieces designed specifically for America’s fastest growing sport. Here are some of the newest and chicest court sport merch to hop on this fun trend. I’m personally purchasing this Athleta popover and this pleated skirt to start playing with my friends as soon as the courts by me open up in April!

While I may not be ready for all of the fun sets and accessories that come along with tennis & pickleball, they do make great Mother’s Day gifts for the court sport enthusiast! It’ll be here before you know it!
