California Sports Surfaces continues its commitment to Pickleball

DecoTurf - a California Sports Surfaces brand - has once again been chosen as the surface of the Minto US Open Pickleball Championships in Naples, Florida. Billed as the largest pickleball tournament in the world - the event is expected to draw over 2,600 players competing on 60 dedicated courts for ultimate pickleball prestige.

Pickleball is a racket/paddle sport that was created by combining elements of several other racket sports. Two or four players use solid paddles to hit a perforated polymer ball over a net. 

California Sports Surfaces has partnered with the US Open Pickleball Championships since its first national tournament in 2016 and continues to make a commitment to both this popular competition and the sport of pickleball at large.

Hosted at the East Naples Community Park, the Open runs 23rd-30th April and features permanent DecoTurf courts, highlighted by the bustling Zing Zang Championship court. For ‘picklers’ worldwide, the signature dark blue and red DecoTurf courts are instantly recognisable as a mark of thrilling, high-stakes match play.

Tom Magner, Director of Product Management for California Sports Surfaces notes “there are tournaments on the calendar and then there are events, and the Minto US Open Pickleball Championships is definitely the latter - It is a fun-filled showcase with incredible energy, and we are honoured to be part of it once again. ”

California Sports Surfaces is the world’s largest manufacturer of acrylic sports surfacing systems that have been routinely chosen for play at high-profile events including the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo.

DecoTurf low-maintenance court surfaces can be formulated to meet the requirements of athletes at any level including for pickleball, tennis, basketball, and various roller sports. This versatile surface features a multilayered construction that is suitable for indoor or outdoor use. From the scorching heat of Florida summers to gruelling subzero Minnesota winters, DecoTurf can withstand extreme temperatures without compromising the quality of the court.l
