We’re excited to share the highlights of Centerline Athletics’ memorable participation as vendors at PickleCon 2024, held from August 8-11 in the lively city of Kansas City, MO. As the ultimate destination for pickleball enthusiasts, PickleCon 2024 offered an unparalleled experience, and we were thrilled to be part of it. Here’s a look at how we contributed to this premier pickleball event.

Official Apparel for Referees

A standout moment for Centerline Athletics at PickleCon 2024 was being selected as the official apparel provider for all referees at the event. The referees will be wearing their Centerline gear at events going forward at tournaments and games nationwide.

A Pickleball Paradise

PickleCon 2024 was a pickleball enthusiast’s dream come true, featuring over 65 courts all under one roof. This setup created an exhilarating atmosphere where participants of all skill levels could engage in intense matches, learn from top players, and enjoy the camaraderie of fellow pickleball fans. The event’s vibrant energy was palpable, with attendees embracing every moment of this pickleball extravaganza.

Centerline Athletics and Civile Apparel: A Dynamic Presence

At our vendor booth, both Centerline Athletics and our sister brand Civile Apparel showcased a wide variety of products. Visitors had the chance to explore our latest collections, from high-performance apparel with Centerline Athletics to the latest in pickleball fashion with Civile Apparel. Our interactive photo booth was a hit, allowing attendees to capture fun and memorable moments from the event.

For those looking to test their skills, our ping pong station equipped with Civile Apparel pickleball paddles offered a unique and engaging experience. It was a great way for participants to experience the quality of our gear firsthand and enjoy some friendly competition.

Civile Apparel’s Spotlight on Women in Sports

Civile Apparel’s founder, Aubri Steele, was a featured speaker on the Women in Sports panel. Aubri shared her inspiring journey of establishing Civile Apparel, detailing the brand’s mission and future aspirations. Her participation highlighted the significant role women play in shaping the future of sports apparel and provided valuable insights into the industry’s evolving landscape.

Engaging Activities and Exciting Contests

We also introduced a "Passport Scavenger Hunt" at our booth, adding an extra layer of fun to the event. Participants eagerly visited Centerine’s various partner booths to collect stamps, with the chance to win a grand prize. The scavenger hunt was a fantastic way to engage with the community!
