Rolling Through March with Our Pickleball Truck Tour

March was an exciting month for Team Diadem as The Official Pickleball Truck traveled throughout South Florida, bringing the joy of pickleball to communities and events throughout South Florida. The Official Pickleball Truck visited  new court openings at local HOA’s, country clubs, a Veteran’s Entrepreneurship expo, and more continuing its mission to help communities enjoy pickleball and the “Lice to Play”/  Some of those visits included:

Parkland Golf and Country Club Pickleball Courts Grand Opening Community Event
Our month kicked off with the exciting grand opening of the new pickleball courts at the Parkland Golf and Country Club.. Diadem was honored to participate in this milestone event, showcasing our premium paddles through live demonstrations. Visitors spun our prize wheel for Diadem swag, but the real highlight was seeing pickleball enthusiasts of all skill levels testing our paddles on the pristine new courts. The energy was contagious as both pros and newcomers gathered to celebrate this addition to the pickleball landscape.

Supporting Veterans at the South Florida Business Forum
We proudly took part in the South Florida Veteran Business Forum, where military veteran entrepreneurs gathered to enhance their business acumen. This event held special significance for us as we showcased our First Responders paddles - including our Military  paddle. The attendees were excited to win some of these paddles in the on-site raffle and all appreciated the fact that Diadem Sports donates a portion of the proceeds of the First Responder Series paddles to Tunnel to Towers Foundation. 

Growing the Game with SportsEdTV
Diadem partnered with SportsEdTV for a special "Learn to Play" pickleball event focused entirely on newcomers to the sport. Our demo paddles were placed in the hands of first-time players, giving them quality equipment as they took their first swings. The Diadem booth and prize wheel added to the festive atmosphere as we helped expand the pickleball community one player at a time.

A Home Run for Pickleball at Cacti Park Spring Training
March 15th marked a special crossover between America's pastimes visiting Cacti Park for a  Spring Training doubleheader of MLB’s Houston Astros v. Florida Marlins and the Washington Nationals v the New York Mets. The Official Pickleball Truck  was available to fans throughout both games in the left field concourse where fans could spin to win prizes, play a few points of pickleball, and learn more about Diadem Sports products.  Baseball fans couldn't resist stopping by to take photos with our oversized paddles by the truck  and the Washington National presidential mascots even got into the action - racing with these paddles in their traditional midgame race around the ballpark. Highlights included Diadem co-founder Evan Specht taking the mound and delivering a strike for the ceremonial first pitch for the opening game. The combination of baseball tradition and pickleball innovation created a uniquely American sporting celebration.

The Fort Warrior BluCore Play Test Event
We closed the month with a truly historic event – The Fort Warrior BluCore Party – held just one day after the worldwide announcement of our revolutionary  Warrior BluCore paddles. Members and guests of  The Fort - the recently opened mecca of Pickleball in Ft. Lauderdale, FL  - became the first players in the world  to experience our latest innovation and play with the Warrior BluCore paddle lineup. Players were excited to get their first points with the paddles and were impressed by the power, pop and spin of these closed cell, expanded polypropylene (EPP) core paddles.
The celebration featured open play for all participants, complemented by food and drinks to keep the energy high. Each guest received a special Diadem gift  bag filled with BluCore information and Diadem products , ensuring they left with not just memories but mementos of this groundbreaking product launch.
