Institutional Sports Equipment and First Team Sports Proudly Launch Two New Pickleball Nets

A sports equipment expert and retailer collaborated with a sports equipment designer to create two new pickleball nets produced by First Team Sports.

Pickleball, invented in the 1970s, has gained popularity as a recreational and competitive sport in recent decades. As the demand for pickleball nets rises in facilities, Institutional Sports Equipment has become a trusted resource. Owner Tom Nicotera, an Equipment Consultant, focuses on selecting durable commercial-grade equipment that meets regulations and client requirements. Teaming up with First Team Sports, Institutional Sports Equipment assisted in designing two new pickleball nets to cater to the increasing demand and specific needs of sports facilities across the country.

Over the past 25 years, Institutional Sports Equipment has aided various sports establishments in choosing the best equipment and layouts for their spaces. While staples like adjustable basketball hoops and protective wall padding remain popular choices, pickleball equipment is now in high demand for multi-use and dedicated sports venues.

Nicotera commented on the rise of pickleball’s popularity and the growing demand for quality equipment and professional courts. The newly designed pickleball nets offer enhanced options for sporting facilities, focusing on player experience and equipment longevity.

The Guardian and Sentry pickleball nets are designed for direct mounting or use with a ground socket, allowing for easy removal on multifunction courts. The Guardian features an internal winch, while the Sentry has an external winch. Other features include a heavy-duty double top six net, aluminum posts with a black powder coat finish, lockable worm gear winch, hinged lid sockets, adjustable post collar, and a white center strap with an anchor.

Nicotera emphasized the versatility of the pickleball nets, comparing them to portable and adjustable basketball goals. Both The Guardian and The Sentry are suitable for permanent or temporary installations, with The Sentry being adaptable for tennis or pickleball play, offering greater flexibility for top-tier pickleball matches in various locations.
