We began playing pickleball in a buddy’s driveway. His parents lined out a court, set up a net, gave us some beginner paddles and told us, “This is pickleball; go play.”
Before we knew it, we’d put in a nine-hour shift hitting a whiffle ball back and forth. That driveway court is where the whole journey started, and the reason ERA exists today.
We built ERA to be the place we wished we’d had on day one. Welcoming. Competitive when you want it to be, easygoing when you don’t. A home court for everyone.
No membership required. No skill prerequisite. Pickleball belongs to everyone.
When you want to compete, there are leagues, brackets and points on the line.
The friendships you make here go well beyond the court. That’s what we built ERA for.
