Founded by Derek Schroeder, Pickleball Mash is dedicated to infusing fun into the game while supporting a meaningful cause. Our flagship initiative, the Pickled Challenge, aims to unite people from all walks of life and skill levels around a shared passion. Research shows that staying active and mentally engaged can reduce the risk of Alzheimer's Disease, and racquet sports like pickleball are particularly effective at extending life expectancy. At Pickleball Mash, our mission is to create an inclusive environment that encourages people to engage in pickleball to become physically, mentally, and even socially healthier.
