What We Learned from Major League Pickleball NYC

This past weekend, we had the chance to attend Major League Pickleball (MLP) New York City — and the experience was nothing short of inspiring. 🌆🎾

From the electric energy of the crowd to the incredible level of play on the courts, one thing was clear: pickleball isn’t just a sport, it’s a movement.

The Growth of Pickleball Is Real

Walking into MLP NYC, you could feel the excitement in the air. Fans cheering, teams battling it out point by point, and an atmosphere that rivals some of the biggest sports leagues in the country. Pickleball is no longer “just a hobby” — it’s a fast-growing sport that brings people together in a unique way.

Why This Matters for Austin

At Pickleball Playmakers, our mission is to bring that same level of energy and connection to Austin through our corporate events, team-building activities, and private clinics.

Pickleball works because it’s easy to learn, fun to play, and creates instant camaraderie. Watching the pros in NYC only reinforced how powerful the game can be — whether it’s uniting fans in the stands or coworkers on the courts.

Bringing MLP Energy to Your Team

Imagine the energy of MLP, but tailored to your team or clients. That’s what we create at Pickleball Playmakers:

• Corporate events that go beyond the boardroom

• Team-building sessions that spark collaboration and connection

• Private clinics that help players of all levels learn and grow

Final Thoughts

MLP NYC was an incredible reminder that pickleball is more than a game — it’s an experience that unites people. And we’re excited to keep building that experience here in Austin.
