Yes, I played in this and before you ask, my knees still work! I’m so grateful that Rally Pickleball places such a strong emphasis on connection. Being part of a company that truly values deep, long-term relationships and intentional, forward-thinking decisions is something I treasure. At Rally, this isn’t just talk, it’s a core value that’s ingrained in everything we do. It’s visible, it’s felt, and it’s experienced daily. As someone who deeply values meaningful, transformational relationships, I feel incredibly fortunate to live that out every day, whether it’s with my coworkers or our guests. It’s a gift, one that surprises people because it’s not something you typically expect. What we create here is a perfect blend of thoughtfulness and authenticity, crafting experiences that inspire growth and connection for everyone involved. And the wildest part? It’s all happening through pickleball. Who knew something so simple could spark something so powerful?

At Rally, our purpose is to serve as a catalyst for connection. This week, we brought that purpose to life with our first-ever Associate Scramble Pickleball Tournament. What made this event even more special? It was sparked by one of our associates following a recent town hall, embodying our core value to ask bold questions. We take feedback seriously, and this idea turned into an opportunity for our team to connect, compete, and have fun. As part of our Employer Value Proposition, we’re committed to giving associates access through discounts and complimentary play opportunities. This tournament marks the start of a new tradition, with a goal to host two per year going forward. We also aim for every associate and manager to participate in Rally activities every quarter, helping us strengthen our community and authentically integrate our team into the culture—and sport—that defines us. Here’s to serving up more moments like this. #Pickleball?#CompanyCulture? #EmployeeEngagement?

"There's a Loneliness Epidemic- And These Founders Are Tackling It With Pickleball" At the start of the year, we set a bold vision: land a headline that shares our mission as a catalyst for connection with the world. Today, we're thrilled to share this feature in Entrepreneur Magazine with a nearly verbatim headline as the one we wrote down on our vision board back in January. Thank you Emily Washcovick for highlighting how pickleball at Rally is not just a game, but a powerful means to combat loneliness bringing people together to forge community and personal connections. #lonelinessepidemic #pickleball

"The number one question we would get when pitching investors was: 'Are you a restaurant, or are you a sports venue?' And we would say 'neither,' 'yes, and...,' 'both,' or 'we don’t like that question, ask another one.'"- Barrett Worthington Our founders, Barrett & Megan Charity joined Emily Washcovick for Yelp's "Beyond the Review" podcast to chat strategies for building a $15 million pickleball start-up.
