My Why

The most meaningful moments in sports extend beyond the scoreboard.

They’re teammates who believed in you. The people who cheered you on. The friendships that begin on the court and will continue long after the final point – It’s the stories we are creating.

High Stakes Pickleball has grown from a passion for creating all of those moments. We believe a thoughtfully crafted event can bring people closer, inspire them to challenge themselves, and create a sense of belonging.

That’s why we put careful thought into every part of the experiences—from the very first welcome to the final championship celebration. We want people to leave feeling they were a part of something bigger than themselves. I truly believe that it’s more important to contribute than just belong.

What it is about

  • Four guests pose together in front of the High Stakes Pickleball backdrop, one making a peace sign.

    The people.

  • Two women pose with their arms around each other in front of the High Stakes Series logo on the backdrop.

    The friendships.

  • A guest raises both arms and cheers behind rows of seated spectators, with an IG Private Wealth Management slide on a TV and a High Stakes Pickleball banner at the right.

    The energy.

  • A man in black reaches up to slot a name card into the Jones Division column of the Draft Night board while three people watch.

    The competition.

  • Four guests at a bar-height table watch and clap, with a sunlit window and more tables in the background.

    The community.
