Our Story
Our Beginning
Volleyer was born from a vision to revive the elegance of British sporting heritage for the modern world. Inspired by a chance encounter with pickleball’s spirited charm abroad, our founder saw an opportunity to craft something distinctly British; equipment that blends timeless craftsmanship with the versatility of today’s games. From quiet village greens to bustling urban courts, we sought to create gear that embodies the poise of a bygone era. Think croquet lawns and country club verandas, while embracing the spontaneity of modern sport. Volleyer is not merely about play; it’s about carrying forward a legacy of refinement, connection, and pride in Britain’s sporting tradition.
Passion for Sport
Sport has always been woven into the fabric of British life, from the crack of willow on village pitches to the camaraderie of clubhouse gatherings. Our founder, shaped by a youth of hockey and netball, found that life’s demands often outpaced the practicality of team sports. Yet pickleball offered a revelation: a game requiring only a partner and a portable net, playable anywhere, from a Cornish beach to a London garden. Volleyer emerged to honour this freedom, crafting equipment that marries the durability of British artisanship with the ease of modern play, ensuring every match feels like a nod to tradition.
