Season Two for Naples Professional Pickleball Team

The upcoming season of the National Pickleball League (NPL) heralds a strategic shift for teams like Naples JBB United. Unlike previous years, where geographical proximity played a minimal role in roster selection, this season’s draft, set to unfold in April in Naples, places a strong emphasis on fostering local connections. Bob Strommen, owner of Naples JBB United, emphasizes the importance of engaging with the local community to bolster the team’s success and cultivate interest in pickleball among young enthusiasts. This shift mirrors strategies seen in professional soccer, where building a dedicated local fan base was pivotal.
