Founded by three college friends at Florida Gulf Coast University, Kort Sports started with a simple obsession: pickleball. While studying in Fort Myers, Tanner, Trevor, and Ben discovered the game and immediately became hooked on its fast pace, competition, and energy. What began as casual matches quickly turned into an all-out pursuit to understand what made a great ball.

After buying, testing, and studying nearly every ball they could get their hands on, they realized they wanted more than what was already on the market. They wanted to build something of their own, a ball designed by everyday players, for players. Months of research, testing, and refinement later, Kort Sports was born.
