AT Sports Named Official Surface Provider of PPR

February 1, 2026

AT Sports is proud to announce a new partnership with the Professional Pickleball Registry (PPR), becoming the Official Surface Provider of the PPR. This collaboration brings together two organizations deeply committed to advancing the quality, performance, and professionalism of pickleball at every level.

As pickleball continues its rapid global growth, the performance of playing surfaces has never been more important. Through this partnership, AT Sports will support the PPR’s mission to educate and certify pickleball teaching professionals by providing industry-leading surface expertise and innovation.

“Pickleball is evolving quickly, and so are the expectations around performance, safety, and consistency,” said Tracy Lynch, Vice President of Business Development at AT Sports. “Partnering with PPR allows us to work directly with the teaching professionals, leaders, and the Governing bodies of the game to enhance the overall playing experience. We’re excited to share our knowledge, support their programs, and help elevate the playing experience for players everywhere.”

The partnership will include AT Sports’ involvement across PPR educational events, conferences, and digital platforms, all around the world in an effort to help instructors and facility decision-makers better understand how surface selection impacts playability, ball response, and athlete performance.

According to Sarah Ansboury, Vice President of the Professional Pickleball Registry, the collaboration is a natural fit. “Education is at the core of everything we do at PPR,” Ansboury said. “Having AT Sports as our Official Surface Provider gives our members access to trusted expertise in an area that directly affects player development and injury prevention. We’re thrilled to align with a company that shares our commitment to quality and growth within the sport.”

This partnership marks another step forward in AT Sports’ ongoing mission to support the long-term success of pickleball through innovative surfaces, education, and industry relationships.
