Franklin Sports, the manufacturer and retailer in the sporting goods space, has partnered with PicklePlay to provide exclusive discounts and new resources to users of the pickleball community app. 

The partnership makes Franklin the exclusive ball of the PicklePlay community, establishes discounts on Franklin gear and includes PicklePlay in upcoming Franklin pickleball starter sets. 

PicklePlay, the pickleball community app, provides subscribers with opportunities to manage their pickleball clubs, locate and review courts, organize games, find events, and meet other players with matching skill sets. Through the partnership with Franklin Sports, subscribers to the app will have access to exclusive discounts on Franklin pickleballs. Information regarding PicklePlay resources will be included in all Franklin pickleball starter sets beginning in 2023.  

“Pickleball has fostered a sense of community throughout the history of the sport, and that is exactly what PicklePlay is all about,” said Adam Franklin, president, Franklin Sports. “Our partnership with PicklePlay will provide existing players with exclusive offers and new players a one-stop tool for all the resources they need to begin playing and build their own community as players.”

Franklin offers a catalog of more than 10,000 products across ten different sports. It entered the pickleball market in early 2017 with the introduction of the X-40 ball, the official ball of USA Pickleball. Since then, the Massachusetts-based company offers paddles, balls and nets while establishing a roster of professional, sponsored pickleball athletes.
