Pickleball is the world’s fastest growing sport, and Pop City Pickleball is Ocala’s premier pickleball experience. Are you playing yet?
Longtime friends and sports enthusiasts Daniel Gray, EJ Nieves and Kyle Artman were looking for a new challenge when they settled on pickleball. There’s no denying the sport’s growing popularity, so the guys thought, “Why not?”
Daniel and EJ took an instant liking to the sport, and showed up to play week after week, honing their skills and meeting new people along the way.
“Talk about diversity,” Daniel says. “Pickleball draws in every age group, from kids all the way up to people in their 90s, all nationalities, all economic backgrounds and more.”
Just a few months into their new pickleball adventures, EJ, Daniel and Kyle decided to form their own company to introduce even more people to the sport.
“Pop City Pickleball falls under the umbrella of Pop City Sports,” says EJ. “We are trying to build bridges and bring people together from all over to experience this sport. There are several pickleball hubs throughout town, including Coehadjoe Park and The Villages. Our trajectory is to create events and ‘pop up’ all over town.”
