WHY PICKLEBALL?

WHY NOW?

Pickleball is experiencing

EXPLOSIVE GROWTH!

  • 311% Growth

    Pickleball has seen a staggering 311% growth in participation in the U.S. from 2021 to 2024, according to the Sports & Fitness Industry Association (SFIA) and Pickleheads. In 2024, 19.8 million Americans played the sport, a 45.8% jump from 2023. This rapid rise isn’t just a flash in the pan—it’s been the fastest-growing sport in America for five consecutive years. For an investor, this signals a robust and expanding consumer base, driving demand for equipment, facilities, and related services.

  • $4.4 Billion by 2033

    The global pickleball market was valued at $1.5 billion in 2023 and is forecasted to reach $4.4 billion by 2033, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.3%. North America, particularly the U.S., dominates this market, with an estimated $450 million in revenue from equipment alone in 2024. This trajectory suggests a lucrative opportunity for investments in paddles, apparel, footwear, and infrastructure—especially as the sport scales internationally.

  • Youth Surge

    Between 2022 and 2023, pickleball added over 1 million players under the age of 18, per the 2024 SFIA and Pickleheads report. Meanwhile, the 25–34 age group leads with 2.3 million participants, and the average player age is dropping (down to 34.8 years per the APP). This shift challenges the stereotype of pickleball as a retiree’s game and points to a long-term player pipeline. For an investor, this cross-generational appeal enhances the sport’s staying power and opens avenues for youth programs, sponsorships, and media deals.

An open letter from our CIO: Change your investing forever

A few years ago, a friend suggested I try “pickleball”. I reluctantly did and fell in love with the sport like many others have across the country and across the globe!

As business professionals and investors, we at PDI believe that pickleball represents one of the greatest opportunities for investors over the next 5-10 years. The sport continues to mature and with future Olympic potential, we feel - like many of you - that we want to GET IN THE GAME!

Unfortunately, many of the best investment opportunities are not offered to the general public, leaving only individual facilities looking to raise capital as investors only options. PDI Capital has access to incredible deal flow in pickleball and by collectively pooling investment capital, we can help grow the sport AND our investments.

It was important for us to do this right, so we’ve structured our investment opportunities with full transparency and communication at the forefront.

I look forward to working with you and all of our investors. See you on the court!
