TEAM ELEVATE
I started this company to ELEVATE the game of pickleball in Richmond, and to support the RVA pickleball community. These players have shown they have the skills it takes to excel, on and off the court, and have supported Elevate Pickleball since the beginning. I'm proud to have them represent my shop.
