Pickleball Pop-Ups: Transforming Spaces and Revolutionizing the Game of Pickleball

Experience the pickleball revolution with Pickleball Pop-Ups – transforming spaces and revolutionizing the game, one event at a time.

Published

on

Pickleball, a once niche sport primarily played in retirement communities, has exploded in popularity across the United States. What was once considered a leisure activity has now become a social phenomenon, attracting players and spectators of all ages and backgrounds. With this surge in interest, the need for more playing spaces has become evident. However, high construction fees, long development times, and zoning restrictions have posed challenges in meeting this demand. That is, until now.

CelebExperts LLC, a top celebrity booking, marketing, and sponsorship agency, has partnered with Pickleball Pop-Ups™️ to tackle this issue head-on. Co-founded by Jakob Eliason and Adam Clay, Pickleball Pop-Ups is revolutionizing the way pickleball is experienced by utilizing temporary, mobile courts to create unparalleled pickleball events. Their mission is to make the sport as fun, accessible, and lively as possible for both players and viewers.

What sets Pickleball Pop-Ups apart from other companies is their ability to bring pickleball to any space, regardless of its size or location. The company collaborates with various brands and businesses to promote themselves while providing an outstanding pickleball experience. Eliason and Clay, both coming from B2B sales and marketing backgrounds, have chosen to focus on partnering with companies to produce multi-event concepts on the corporate event side.

What makes Pickleball Pop-Ups unique is its ability to fit into unconventional venues. Their adaptability allows them to transform corporate parks, ballrooms, trade show floors, and other unlikely spaces into pickleball events. The fun doesn’t stop there; after each event, attendees are already recommending new locations and suggesting where the next pop-up event should take place.

Pickleball Pop-Ups has already made waves across the nation. They have taken over Beale Street in Memphis, TN, and participated in Shoptalk 2024 in Las Vegas, NV, among other events. The brand’s recognition and success have surpassed expectations in a short period of time. They continue to evolve beyond just being a sport by creating spaces that can be enjoyed both on and off the court.

Pickleball Pop-Ups is actively seeking sponsorships from brands that want to be a part of this exciting venture. Packages for brands are customizable, allowing them to offer what they want and gain in return. With their full-service activation, brands can expect a high level of engagement with attendees.

Co-founder Adam Clay summarizes the impact of Pickleball Pop-Ups by stating, “People love it! A pickleball party showing up to any site or venue – with mobile, premium courts, music, food, drinks, beer, merch, MC/crowd engagement, etc. – turns out to be an enormous source of joy for so many people. We see it every day. And we plan to be providing these experiences for a very long time.”

The success of Pickleball Pop-Ups can be attributed to its accessibility, inclusivity, and emphasis on social interaction. Their ability to bring together people from different age groups and backgrounds is truly remarkable. As pickleball’s popularity continues to soar, the presence of Pickleball Pop-Ups will only grow, solidifying the game’s status as one of the nation’s favorite pastimes.
