Support Cade Pierson's Pro Pickleball Journey

Who is Cade Pierson and why should we support her road to becoming a pro pickleballer? Born and raised in Solvang, California, Cade grew up splitting her time between playing tennis and soccer and working in her family’s Danish restaurant. She eventually settled on the tennis court, competing for Westmont College, where she was a three-time NAIA All-American Athlete and became the first woman in Westmont College history to have earned All-Conference honors four years running. After graduating with a dual degree in Psychology and Kinesiology, Cade was hired as the head coach for the Westmont Women’s Tennis Program and was voted the Women’s Tennis Conference Coach of the Year at only twenty-two years old. In 2023, she began playing pickleball and competed in her first professional pickleball tournament less than a year later in March 2024. She is currently competing in professional events on the PPA and APP tours in women’s doubles, mixed doubles, and singles.

Cade is an amazing pickleball talent, who is committed to becoming one of the top players in the game. She is the type of athlete who elevates the game and pickleball community: She has unassailable integrity and character, a fierce work ethic, and the athletic talent needed to succeed. Playing fulltime professional pickleball is a financially stressful endeavor. To defray the cost of travel and tournament fees while she establishes herself on the pro circuit, Cade needs our help. Cade has spent the last three years coaching and pouring her energy into developing young talent. Let’s take the opportunity to give back to Cade and help her launch her pro pickleball career.
