Our Story

Where It Began

It started on a pickleball court.

Two doubles partners discovered a shared passion for the game and a deeper commitment to helping children. That connection became Rogue Pickleball.

Rogue Pickleball founders Al and Gary

A Shared Connection

Al, an educator and entrepreneur, and Gary, a successful businessman, met as doubles partners. What began as a game quickly revealed something bigger: a shared love for pickleball and a shared commitment to helping children.

In 2014, Al founded a community-based nonprofit focused on feeding and educating children. On and off the court, he shared his dream of bringing that same spirit of impact into the pickleball community.

A Different Kind of Brand

Inspired by their shared values, Al and Gary envisioned a company that could deliver premium, affordable pickleball apparel and gear while creating meaningful change beyond the game.

That vision became Rogue Pickleball, a brand for players who believe competition, community, and purpose belong together.
