The Association of Pickleball Players (APP) is pairing up with Road to Pro, a sports performance brand specializing in proactively preventing injuries through innovative products, as the organization’s official sock partner beginning in 2025.

“We’re pleased to welcome Road to Pro to the APP family,” said Ryan McSpadden, chief revenue officer of the APP. “Socks are one of our most sought-after items at our APP Tour Pro Shop during tournaments, and we are looking forward to a great partnership. Together, APP and RTP will make a great pair.

The 2025 APP Tour calendar will feature 14 nationally televised events and more than 55 hours of linear broadcast coverage, giving Road to Pro, alongside the nation’s top pickleball pros, unprecedented visibility on a national stage. In addition, Road to Pro will boast prominent branding and signage at each event to showcase its best-in-class apparel. The complete 2025 APP event schedule—including dates, locations, venues and broadcast information—will be announced in the coming weeks via theapp.global.

"We’re incredibly excited to join forces with the APP and have our products in the hands, and on the feet, of so many talented athletes,” said Sky Kim, founder and CEO of Road to Pro. “Partnering with the APP, along with players like Megan Fudge, Kyle Yates, and many other pros, is a perfect match for Road to Pro. Our goal has always been to help players unlock their potential and stay healthy on the court, and this partnership allows us to extend that mission to the growing pickleball community."
