šŸŽ“ Adidas & DUPR team up for biggest collegiate pickleball season yet

Adidas & DUPR collab image

College pickleball just keeps growing — and this fall is shaping up to be its biggest leap forward yet.

Adidas and DUPR have teamed up to power the 2025 Collegiate Pickleball season, which will see more than 4,000 players from 125+ schools hit the courts. The fall semester features four Super Regionals across the country, all leading into the World Championships this November.

In a joint statement, Adidas and DUPR said:

ā€œTogether, Adidas and DUPR are committed to elevating collegiate pickleball, creating opportunities for student-athletes to compete, connect, and grow the sport at every level. This partnership represents a major step forward in making collegiate pickleball accessible, competitive, and sustainable for years to come.ā€

It’s a packed calendar — and one that shows just how fast the college game is scaling up. You can check out the full schedule of Super Regionals and fall events on DUPR’s site here.

Adidas, for its part, continues to make moves in pickleball — from signing new athletes to rolling out gear aimed squarely at the next generation of players. With both brands throwing their weight behind the collegiate game, the future of pickleball on campus looks brighter (and more competitive) than ever.
