The best bags for every need

At first, it’s simple. One paddle, a couple of balls and any old drawstring bag will do. But as your pickleball addiction grows, so does your gear: backup paddles, extra balls, shoes, towels, snacks — you name it.

That’s where we come in. Whether you’re hitting the courts for a casual match or grinding through a weekend tournament, we’ve got the perfect bag suggestion for you.

We’ve broken it down into Tour Bags for the hardcore players who need space for everything, and Backpacks for those quick, everyday sessions. Click here for our full list of the top bags on the market.
