The Pickle Juice Story

A Passion for Pickleball

The story of Pickle Juice starts with a 20-year friendship and a tennis partnership that began on the courts at Lehigh University. Co-founders Brad and Dave have been doubles partners, business collaborators, and great friends since their college days. While they never stopped playing tennis together, a few years ago they discovered something that would change everything: pickleball.

What started as curiosity quickly became an obsession. Brad and Dave found themselves on the courts every weekend, drawn in by the perfect blend of competition, camaraderie, and pure fun. They loved how pickleball delivered an incredible workout while being accessible to players of all skill levels. But what really hooked them was the community—the way strangers became friends between games, the laughter mixed with friendly rivalry, and the welcoming spirit that seemed unique to this sport.

As their passion grew, Brad and Dave saw an opportunity. While outdoor courts were plentiful, there was a clear need for a world-class indoor facility that matched the energy and joy of the game. They envisioned a space where the pickleball community could gather year-round—a place that combined state-of-the-art Pro-Cushion® courts with thoughtful design, natural light, and vibrant energy. A place where you could play a great match, then grab a fresh juice and connect with friends old and new.

That vision became Pickle Juice—where exercise, community, and fun come together under one roof.

OUR FOUNDERS

Friends, Teammates, Founders

Brad and Dave’s friendship spans two decades, countless tennis matches, and now, a shared business venture born from their love of pickleball. Since their days as doubles partners at Lehigh University, they’ve stayed connected through sports, business collaborations, and life’s adventures. After 20 years of working together, their transition from tennis to pickleball happened naturally—one weekend game led to another, and suddenly they were hooked on this dynamic, social sport.

What sets Brad and Dave apart is their genuine enthusiasm for building community. They didn’t just want to play pickleball—they wanted to create a space where everyone feels welcome, from first-timers nervous about their serve to competitive players looking for their next challenge. Drawing on their decades of experience working together and their deep understanding of what makes a great game even better, they built Pickle Juice to be more than just a facility. It’s a gathering place where friendships form, skills develop, and the unique spirit of pickleball thrives.

Today, Brad and Dave still play together every weekend, often joined by their families. They love seeing the same sense of joy and connection on their members’ faces that first drew them to the sport. At Pickle Juice, you’re not just joining a club—you’re becoming part of a community that shares their passion for great games, great people, and great times on the court.
