Why Centerline?

Pickleball demands gear built for quick lateral movement, extended play, and all-weather conditions, yet traditional activewear wasn't created for the sport. Centerline is changing that.

Centerline's apparel is engineered by pickleball players, for pickleball players, featuring:

• Moisture-wicking & quick-dry technical fabrics
• Airlite™ ventilation to keep players cool longer
• Performance cuts that allow full mobility during dinks, drives, and resets
• GripTek™ fabric zones to help discard sweat during high-intensity play
• UPF sun protection for long days on outdoor courts

Every piece blends advanced functionality with a clean, modern aesthetic, making it easy to transition from court to everyday wear without compromising performance.

What's Ahead
Centerline is planning expanded product lines, new seasonal drops, retail growth, and larger-scale creator partnerships throughout 2026 - further solidifying its position as the brand shaping the next generation of pickleball style.
