SALT LAKE CITY - iSportsWire -- The National Team Pickleball League has rebranded as the Triple Team Pickleball League, emphasizing teamwork and inclusivity in men's, women's, and combo formats. This change highlights our commitment to fostering camaraderie across teams and the community.

Originating from the Utah Tennis Association's initiative in 2020, the league has evolved to offer a unique competitive experience for recreational players. Jeremy Horner, Pickleball Manager, states, "Our transition represents our commitment to creating an inclusive environment where players can team up, play locally, and compete nationally." Our league combines individual match play with a team scoring system generating excitement throughout each match.

Emphasizing Team League Play
At Triple Team, we're pioneering recreational pickleball with our unique team league format following the successful USTA tennis model, with over 1 million registered users, blending a competitive spirit with community connections, where players can forge lasting memories and relationships.
