Welcome to Dink Apparel! We’re so glad you’re here and hope you stay a while.
Just like the sport of pickleball itself, Dink Apparel was born from humble beginnings that centered on family togetherness. And just like the sport itself, we’re growing with a spirit of community and fun.
So, read on to get to know us a bit better, and we hope you’re a part of our family for years to come!
Who We Are
Hi there! We’re Sheri and Robert, the founders and owners of Dink Apparel. We have been dreaming of this company ever since executing our first dink while playing the game with our children on a family trip.
We’re based in Texas and are excited to spread the joy of pickleball through fashion and lifestyle products nationwide.
OUR VISION
“To be the first name that comes to mind — and the first brand on the court — for every pickleball player in America, and one day, everywhere the game is played.”

Court style they love

Why Pickleball?
Our family was enjoying a cruise, celebrating our son’s 11th birthday, and looking for activities that everyone could enjoy. A cruise boasts a plethora of things to do, but a family vacation is defined by time spent together, so that became our goal.
That’s when we discovered pickleball. Much like the sport's origins, our connection to it was born of a desire to have fun, stay active, and be together through it all. Our family fell in love with the sport of pickleball on that trip. Now, we share that love with our pickleball community.
Why Dink Apparel?
After returning home, we channeled our passion for this newfound hobby into our future. Thus, Dink Apparel was born.
Derived from the name for a dink shot (a soft return that easily drops into their opponent’s non-volley zone), Dink Apparel serves pickleball fans from professionals to amateurs, families, and friends.
“The game is more fun when you love what you’re wearing. We know because we’re obsessed with both. Dink Apparel Co. — premium pickleball style for people who refuse to dink in something boring.”
Created For You
Everything we do at Dink Apparel is to serve the pickleball community. We know this sport often defines our hobbies, our free time, and even our conversations with friends. So we created apparel and lifestyle products that help you show off your love for the sport.
We didn’t forget about the game, though, and are proud to offer apparel that allows freedom of movement on the court. Match your on-court apparel, such as some of our leggings, to our themed paddle sets for a cohesive look.
OUR MISSION
“To bring Southern preppy style to every pickleball court — with a coastal breeze, a family heart, and nothing wasted along the way.”

Where We Call Home
We call the Lone Star State home, and are growing Dink Apparel from Coppell, Texas. Coppell is a booming town just north of Dallas, making it an ideal place to set up manufacturing and shipping. We also have facilities in Florida, providing a quick turnaround in a state that loves pickleball.
Everything is bigger in Texas, and that includes our hospitality. Southern charm and the instinct for hosting are built into everything we do and produce.
From classic and timeless designs in our Summer Collection and Blue Willow Collection, to lifestyle products that ensure you can host the ultimate post-pickleball party, Dink Apparel has everything you need for a pitch-perfect Southern pickleball afternoon.
“A premium southern pickleball lifestyle brand inspired by country club culture, family gatherings, timeless athletic style — and the joy of never showing up underdressed.”
