The event will feature a bevy of celebrities playing alongside professional pickleball players for a showcase that combines sport and on-court entertainment.

“The entire PIVOT Agency team couldn’t be more excited to bring Celebrity Pickleball Bash to the San Francisco Bay Area,” Shapiro said. “Pickleball has grown immensely over the past few years, and it’s time for the sport to have a series of showcase events that give fans this type of experience. Fans are going to love this event for its accessibility and the lively, engaging atmosphere created by the athletes on the court as well as the entertainment throughout the showcase.”
The Professional Pickleball Association (PPA) will serve as a strategic partner in Celebrity Pickleball Bash, collectively aiming to grow the sport. Celebrity Pickleball Bash will also feature several professional pickleball players, including: Christian Alshon, Hayden Patriquin, Parris Todd, and Jessie Irvine.
“Having seen what showcase events can do for fan engagement in basketball, I’m a big believer in the potential for Celebrity Pickleball Bash,” Mullin said. “To launch in the Bay Area, a place that has meant a lot to me over my playing career for the Golden State Warriors as well as many years living here, I just couldn’t be more excited about this event. And I can’t wait to hit the court.”
“This event is going to be an amazing experience for fans,” Owens said. “I’m a big pickleball player, and I personally can’t wait to get onto the court for this thing. To do it in the Bay Area in this fashion, it’s going to be special.”
Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA) will serve as the charitable partner of Celebrity Pickleball Bash for the first event (February 15-16) in San Francisco.
