EPIC AMATEUR PICKLEBALL WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
We’re not building another sporting event. We’re building for a new generation of sports participation.
Sports culture is changing. Audiences no longer want to experience sport solely
from the sidelines — they increasingly want to participate, compete and belong.
The Wolfpack entered sports through pickleball because it sits at the intersection
of accessibility, community and competition. EPIC transforms that opportunity into
a platform where everyday players can experience what it feels like to compete
on a world stage.
THE OPPORTUNITY
From Spectators
to Participants
Traditional sports have largely been built around audiences paying to watch professionals compete. We see another opportunity emerging: people willing to spend on their own sporting experiences. They want to train. They want to compete. They want to travel. They want to represent their communities.
And most importantly, they want to feel like the athlete.
That shift creates an entirely different relationship between sport, consumer and brand. And pickleball is particularly well positioned for it.
Why Pickleball?
ACCESSIBLE. INTERGENERATIONAL. COMMUNITY-LED.
ACCESSIBLE
Easy to pick up, while offering enough competitive depth to keep players progressing.
INTERGENERATIONAL
A sport that can bring younger adults, working professionals and older players onto the same court.
COMMUNITY-LED
Participation naturally creates clubs, social groups, competitions and recurring engagement.
Where participation grows, an ecosystem grows around it.
