Our Story

1978 – that’s me and my first tennis racquet – a Bancroft Billie Jean King [thanks mom + dad]. It was a moment that has influenced my life even into the present day. There are few things I love more than being on a tennis court; I love everything about the game.

I have been lucky enough to play for most of my life. I was an NCAA tennis player and my passion grew stronger during those college years. After taking a break in adulthood [you know, life gets in the way], I found my way back to the game after moving to the Atlanta, GA area in 2019 – 41 years after putting that Bancroft in my hand.

You can’t go far in Georgia without seeing tennis courts or meeting people that play – tennis is a big part of this community and culture. Being new to the state, I joined a team, and my love of the game was instantly renewed. I loved everything about stepping back on that court and the energy I had when I played – I love the competition. As much as I love the competition, for me, tennis has always been more - it has been a community and my tribe.

The more I played, the more frustrated I got….with the apparel options. I was tired of form fitting clothes, boring logos, and brands that slapped a logo on a piece of apparel and called it “tennis gear.” I often found myself wearing Peloton tanks because in my opinion, they make the most comfortable tops. Then it got me thinking, “why should I wear Peloton when I could wear my own brand?” and that is how Swinging Volley was born.

So why the name?

A swinging volley is a powerful stroke in tennis [and yes, pickleball] that allows players to attack on the offense and take control of the point quickly and aggressively. It is one of the hardest and most technically difficult shots to hit in tennis - one that stands out, just like I want this brand to stand out.

Our gear is designed to be simple, casual, comfortable, stylish, and to stand up to the demands of the court. From the court to the clubhouse, from the house to happy hour, and everywhere in between, you will look and feel great.

The Swinging Volley brand is for all levels of athletes - and that means everyone. We are inclusive regardless of ability, skills, body type, or background.

Our Core Beliefs are what we stand for and are at the center of all that we do. We are competitors, but before that, we strive to build a community where everyone belongs.

At Swinging Volley, we believe that everyone has the power to play.
