Did you know that the sport “Pickleball” was named after Pickles the dog of one of the inventors? Join us (but not in the kitchen) for this special visit inside the GAMMA Sports facility.
The GAMMA Sports story began more than 45 years ago when founder, Dr. Harry Ferrari, a Westinghouse nuclear engineer and avid tennis player, became determined to develop a better tennis string.
And he did! In 1977 the United States Racquet Stringer’s Association rated GAMMA Gut the #1 string where it would remain unbroken for the next 23 years.
From there, GAMMA Sports, a family-run company was born – and they didn’t stop at tennis. Today GAMMA Sports is a leader in everything having to do with “Pickleball” as well! Explore a state-of- the-art research and development lab with onsite courts for tennis and pickleball product testing, and learn even more fun factoids about Pickleball!
Don’t get pickled…. get your tickets now!
