Pickleball started back in 1965 in Washington as a simple Backyard game. It is now the official state sport of Washington while being one of the fastest-growing sports across the globe. Pickleball combines the best parts of tennis and table tennis into an easy-to-learn, fun and low-cost game suitable for anyone.
Pickleball is played on a court, much like tennis, it can either be played indoors or outdoors. Lightweight paddles are used to hit a perforated hollow, plastic ball over the net. Just like tennis and table tennis, the aim is to hit the ball over the net until the other player cannot return the ball.
Riber Products Pickleball Journey
Riber Products developed its first-ever Pickleball range after being approached by Jack Gratton who contacted Riber wanting to repurpose broken Pickleballs to help make the planet a greener place. With Riber's experience in plastics and its owner's love for Pickleball, it was a perfect collaboration and consequently, the Pickleball range was born. The UK-developed range offers beginners and kids durable, high-quality gear that can be relied upon to last for all your games!
