Originally named the Seattle Pioneers, this team was formed in 2023 by Tom Dundon and renamed and moved to Carolina as the Carolina Pickleball Club in 2024. The Carolinas have a burgeoning pickleball scene that is the perfect location for an MLP team featuring some of the greatest players to ever hit the 20×44.
