THE DELRAYS (Delray Beach and Boynton Beach, FL)
What happens when two fiercely competitive friends fall in love with pickleball? They buy a team of course!

After their first tournament together in 2022, they were hooked. Firmly believing a good time off the court is as important as fun on it, they hope to bring a culture of positive team spirit and camaraderie to The DelRays.
