About Us
Family-Owned, pickleball-obsessed
From the Inland Northwest overlooking the Selkirk Mountains, to players around the world.
It's 2014. Pickleball is still a brand-new market. Mom-and-pop brands. Clunky wooden paddles. Mike and Rob Barnes are two brothers who found the joy of pickleball at their local community center. That sparked an idea to start a new company focused on pickleball performance. With the help of their father, Jim, Selkirk Sport is founded with a mission to fuel the pickleball obsession found within every player.
From a family project to an international dynamo with over 200 employees, Selkirk is the #1 brand in pickleball with performance paddles, shoes, apparel, nets, balls, and accessories. How did Selkirk earn the trust of more players than any other pickleball brand? It's simple — we care. As a pickleball-obsessed family, we want all players to feel confident on the court. We're committed to uncompromising quality with a never-satisfied drive to continue pushing the limits of performance technology. Selkirk built the most extensive in-house R&D lab in the sport, where engineers experiment through rapid prototyping and testing to unlock pickleball's next game-changing innovation.
Pickleball brings people together, and supporting the sport we all love will always be a core principle of Selkirk. By investing in pickleball's growth at the local, collegiate, professional, and international levels, we empower players everywhere to continue developing their game. The "Sport" in Selkirk Sport is singular, never plural, because Selkirk is ALL IN on pickleball and ONLY pickleball. This sport is what we know. It's what we love. And together, with players like you, We Are Pickleball™.
