Wellness is becoming more inclusive of the unique ways people take care of themselves and, with 78% of adults over 65 noting it’s easier to make health and wellness a priority when it’s fun1, it’s no surprise that pickleball has grown more than 150% in popularity over the last three years 2. Acknowledging how the sporty trend embodies several key markers of a fulfilling life – the prioritization of self-care and remaining active, healthy, and connected3 – and recognizing that nearly 70% of people who played pickleball in the last year have also purchased vitamins or supplements in the past six months, Nature Made and USA Pickleball serve as a perfect match in the pursuit of feel-good wellness.

“Our goal at Nature Made is to support consumers at every stage of their health and wellness journeys, which is why we’re so proud to partner with USA Pickleball, another group dedicated to promoting accessible wellness habits,” said Rhonda Hoffman, Chief Growth Officer of Nature Made. “Both Nature Made and pickleball have seen rapid growth over the past few years as people look for new options to help take control of their wellness and bring more joy to their lives. Through this collaboration, we look forward to unlocking more exciting ways to celebrate healthy living.”

As part of this partnership, Nature Made will have a presence at upcoming pickleball events and will curate opportunities for spectators to learn about wellness habits and sample Nature Made products at upcoming USA Pickleball Golden Ticket events and regional tournaments. As more Americans become interested in pickleball, the duo will also collaborate on ongoing community engagement initiatives to help grow participation in the past-time – and proactive wellness – via member discounts and special offers, support for local pickleball facilities across the country with equipment, court improvements, instructional support materials, and more.

"We’re excited to welcome Nature Made, the leading company in the vitamin space, to the USA Pickleball community,” said Jose Moreno, Chief Marketing and Strategy Officer of USA Pickleball. “This partnership will inspire pickleball players of all ages to prioritize their well-being and provide them with the necessary resources and support. Together, we aim to make a positive impact on pickleball and beyond."

Beyond on-site experiences and community programming in select markets, Nature Made will introduce a digital content video series that will encourage consumers to grab a friend, a racket and learn to play pickleball.
