From lunch to launch – PaddlePlayer.com

It began with lunch. Two friends at Hajime-Sushi in Harrison, New York, were talking about one of their favorite sports. Nothing unusual in that, right? But then one of them floated the idea of starting a website for like-minded enthusiasts. The other looked up from his Tolcu-Jo and said, “Let’s do it.” PaddlePlayer.com was born.

That was nearly a year ago. Since then, PaddlePlayer.com has become a great website to visit for all things platform tennis.

It features articles written by the sport’s most knowledgeable players and followers, video tips from pros, and full coverage of all major paddle tournaments and events— all with the goal of promoting the sport and helping players at all levels improve their game. Some of the most recognizable names in the sport—Mark Parsons, Alex Bancila, Drew Broderick and Johan du Randt— share their knowledge, tips, and opinions through instructional articles, editorials, and videos.

The response has far exceeded expectations. More and more people participate in monthly raffles of platform tennis gear. The latest promotion highlights the new partnership with PT Pro Ball. [enlarge image to read more]
