OS1st becomes the Official Sock of the PPA Tour

 Performance sock brand will support pickleball athletes on and off the court thanks to new tour partnership with the PPA

 SALT LAKE CITY, UT (March 22, 2022) – The PPA Tour welcomes the makers of The Pickleball Sock, OS1st, to the ranks of new 2022 cooperating partners and grants them the title of the “Official Sock of the PPA Tour.” The partnership is a continuation of OS1st’s investment in pickleball and their mission to empower active lifestyles through their performance socks and compression bracing products. 

“Our socks are made to prevent pain and promote comfort because we believe everyone deserves to stay active and have fun while they’re at it,” said Josh Higgins, President of OS1st. “We think that is a great compliment to the fun, inclusive nature of pickleball.”

The PPA Tour’s large-scale professional tournaments feature double-elimination draws that pit players against each other to compete for ranking points and the largest prize money payouts in the sport. Amateur players play at the same venues as the best professional pickleball players and each event draws thousands of fans, both on-site and via live broadcasts.

“When we saw the number of pro and amateur players who are already benefiting from wearing OS1st® we thought it was time to jump in with both feet,” Higgins continued. “It is an honor to partner with the Pro Pickleball Association to support the sport and the community it builds.”

PPA Tour participants, registrants, and spectators can now find OS1st at all tour stops in 2022 and beyond. Test out their products for yourself on-site and online with Pickleball Central www.pickleballcentral.com or find out more by visiting www.os1st.com.
