To learn more about Osaka's strategic partnership with DUPR, read the Q&A with Osaka here.

‍Valentin Debouche, Executive Director at Osaka World USA, shares insights on the company's strategic partnership with DUPR and their exciting entry into the rapidly growing pickleball market, emphasizing community building and appealing to collegiate athletes.

Why did you decide to partner with DUPR?  

There are two things that immediately connected DUPR and Osaka: a sense of passion and community.  

Meeting Ben and Tito, we realized that DUPR was heavily invested in the growth and legitimacy of the sport in the US. They are present on all fronts and are always looking for more initiatives to be involved with. For a brand like Osaka entering a new space with pickleball, this is what you look for in partners.  

The DUPR team’s excitement for what is to come in pickleball has been infectious. We hope that the collaboration between DUPR and Osaka brings many successes, building up from Collegiate Pickleball to more joint ventures in the future.  

Why is Osaka looking to enter into the pickleball space? How do you view this sport and the opportunities within?  

Since 2022, it has been clear that Osaka will eventually enter the pickleball market. With 38M players in the US and a 40% increase in new members YoY, it has become the fastest growing sport in the US by a mile.  

For those who do not know Osaka, we can be considered as an up-and-coming brand for up-and-coming sports. We believe that passion for a sports brand comes from the right balance between fashion and function. People are not just looking for a high performing racquet or paddle anymore. They are always on the lookout for what is going to become the next cool thing. This is what we believe to be our edge at Osaka, where we have had a central focus on stylish, contemporary, and unique designs. 

With pickleball, we aim to have the same success as with other sports, by bringing a lifestyle approach paired with top-of-the-line equipment. We are ready to take on this great challenge.  

What do you hope to gain from this partnership?  

With this partnership, we hope to bring brand awareness and gain more exposure to the pickleball market, reach a large audience, and connect with players at events nationwide.  

The collegiate events part of this partnership is particularly important to us. A successful strategy for the Osaka team has been to focus on activations at events and connect with players by providing them with a distinct experience. First impressions matter. Being able to display your brand and what you stand for in front of thousands is an opportunity we could not pass on. There is no better way to get a positive momentum with the people you connect with.  

Once we have established that first connection with the players, we accompany them throughout their development. We are there every step of the way and can give them access to high-performance equipment from entry-level to elite. And because of our lifestyle approach, we are constantly developing more collections to appeal to our young and older customers and give them that sense of community. 

We look forward to attending our first DUPR events. To all college players, you are in for a treat! 

What do you hope this partnership offers to collegiate pickleball players?  

 ‘Why fit in when you were born to stand out?'

This has been at the core of everything we do at Osaka. On top of the unique design identity, one of our key strengths is to adopt a lifestyle approach to all our sports. We recognize that people are not just playing a sport for the health benefits of it. People have a need to be a part of a community. And that is exactly who we want to target in the marketing of our brand. Once you give an athlete a sense of belonging through your brand, they will stay loyal to you. 

We hope to bring this sense of community to all the collegiate players we will meet and interact with during our partnership with DUPR. We hope to bring them a new brand that will appeal to them and stand out from the masses.  

What was particularly appealing to you about the collegiate pickleball space? 

Collegiate athletes represent the strongest segment of our customer base. They sit at the forefront when it comes to adopting unique brands, new products and embracing new innovations. They are the disruptors we hope to collaborate with to bring our brand to new heights.  

As the sport grows in popularity and professionalizes itself, college players will become the next (inter)national athletes and ambassadors for our brand.

Old Coast Pickleball Club (OCP), owned by CourtReserve co-founders Tim and Ashley Owens, was created with a vision to provide a top-tier indoor pickleball experience in the North-East Florida region. 

Opening its doors on April 26, 2024, it has quickly grown into a popular destination in the St. Augustine sports community, recognized for its innovative approach to member engagement and competitive play. 

From the outset, Tim and Ashley had a clear vision for OCP: to cultivate a thriving community of pickleball enthusiasts while ensuring a fair and competitive playing environment. 

However, achieving this balance proved challenging, especially as the club grew and attracted players with varying skill levels. This was a mission shared by club director, Jack Johnson.

“Many of our members were looking for more than just a place to play; they wanted a way to measure their progress and ensure they were competing on a level playing field.”
- Jack Johnson, Director, Old Coast Pickleball Club

Enter DUPR’s Rating System

Recognizing the need for a standardized rating system, OCP turned to the Dynamic Universal Pickleball Rating (DUPR) system. Despite the customizable options available within CourtReserve, Tim and Ashley chose DUPR for its wide acceptance and objective metrics.

“DUPR provides a universally recognized rating system that our members trust,” says Tim. “It was the perfect solution to foster fair competition and encourage player improvement.”

The simplicity of the DUPR registration process was also a key factor. “It’s easy for players to sign up for a DUPR account for free. The process is straightforward, and members can start seeing their ratings improve as they participate in events," Jack adds.

DUPR Implementation and Integration

Integrating DUPR with CourtReserve was a pivotal step in enhancing the club's value to members.

"The integration process was smoother than we anticipated," says Jack. “CourtReserve’s support team was instrumental in addressing the few challenges we faced, mainly aligning the systems to ensure accurate data transfer.”

By implementing DUPR, OCP could objectively rank players, providing them with clear goals and the opportunity to “level up.” This system not only attracted new members but also kept existing ones engaged, contributing to the club’s outstanding retention rate.

Each game is pre-arranged and carefully timed, ensuring equal playtime for all participants. With a maximum of 10 players, there’s equal court time to hone skills. Plus, all scores are submitted to DUPR, helping players establish and improve their rating for future competitive events. It’s a perfect mix of play and competition.

Member Engagement and Feedback

Since integrating DUPR, member engagement at OCP has soared.

“Our members love that they can count on getting good games, thanks to DUPR and CourtReserve,” Jack explains. “Knowing they’ll be matched with players of similar skill levels has made them more willing to invest in their membership and even fork out extra dollars for lessons.”

Feedback from members has been enthusiastic, with many praising the transparency and fairness of the rating system. “It’s really added value to their experience,” Jack adds.

“Our 100% retention rate speaks volumes,” Jack concludes. For other club owners considering DUPR, my advice is simple—do it. The impact on member satisfaction and operational efficiency is undeniable.” - Jack Johnson, Director, Old Coast Pickleball Club

Operational Benefits

The integration of DUPR with CourtReserve has also streamlined operations at OCP. Event organization, member scheduling, and tournament management have become more efficient, allowing the club to focus on growth and member satisfaction.

“Since implementing DUPR, we’ve seen an increase in event participation and have successfully launched programs that cater to all levels of play,” Jack notes. “The objective nature of DUPR has minimized egos and subjective opinions, creating a more welcoming atmosphere.”

Competitive and Community Impact

DUPR has not only enhanced the competitive environment at OCP but also strengthened the club’s community.

“The system has brought members closer together; I literally watch the camaraderie as they compete and improve their skills,” Jack says

“It’s amazing to see how DUPR has helped build a stronger, more connected community within our club.”

Results and Growth

OCP’s strategic adoption of DUPR has led to exceptional results. Not only has the club maintained a 100% retention rate since its launch, but it has also seen significant growth in membership and event participation.

“Members appreciate that they can count on playing with others at their level, which is why they stay,” says Jack. “DUPR has been a key factor in our success.”

Future Plans

Looking forward, OCP plans to continue leveraging the strengths of CourtReserve and DUPR. With plans to expand programming and open a new 12-court facility in 2025, the club is poised for even greater success.

“Our 100% retention rate speaks volumes,” Jack concludes. “For other club owners considering DUPR, my advice is simple—do it. The impact on member satisfaction and operational efficiency is undeniable.”

“Our members love that they can count on getting good games, thanks to DUPR and CourtReserve.”

For the third year in a row, Pickleball England has successfully hosted Europe's largest pickleball tournaments, furthering the growth of this exciting sport on a global scale. This year's event featured pro players from around the world, including notable names like Ryler Deheart, Max Jesus Manthou, Susannah Barr, and Thadea Lock. As always, DUPR was there to provide official ratings, ensuring an accurately measured competitive experience for all players.

About Pickleball England and The English Open

Pickleball England began its journey in January 2019 and has proudly hosted the English Open for the fourth time. Compared to last year, the English Open saw a remarkable jump in participation, growing from 1,059 players in 2023 to 1,998 in 2024—nearly doubling in just one tournament! Notably, the English Open attracted an impressive 45 different nationalities (including the 4 countries forming the UK), showcasing the sport's international appeal.

Karen Mitchell, co-founder and chair of Pickleball England, highlights what makes the English Open a standout event. "It’s the friendliness of our players—about 80% are from the UK—combined with the allure of professional players and enriching experiences like clinics and 'play with a pro' sessions. Our reputation has been meticulously built over the years, enhanced by live-streaming from our Championship Court. It’s a unique combination of factors that create a special atmosphere."

The Road to Gold

This year, American player Jack Munro and British/German player Megan Fudge certainly made their mark at the Open. Jack clinched multiple medals, including silver in Men's Doubles and gold in Mixed Doubles.

“There was such an incredible atmosphere with winning gold alongside Megan, and seeing my international fans is definitely my favorite part”, Jack shared, “but I do think one of the most memorable moments for all of our players is playing against a completely different nationality, in which there were many fans and supporters that watched and rooted against us just because they wanted to support their home country. That is something that we were not used to, and definitely took some acclimating,” he adds.

Megan, who has been competing internationally for some time, echoed this sentiment.

"It feels great to add more international pro medals under my belt. I’ve noticed that many international players bring a lot of bang-bang” she says, "fast-paced, aggressive style to the game, often stemming from their tennis backgrounds. I had hoped to medal in both mixed and doubles events, and I achieved that."

The Growth of Pickleball Data and Accurate Ratings

The DUPR system played a crucial role in ensuring fair competition throughout the tournament. “The reliability of player ratings has significantly improved,” Karen notes, emphasizing that players will need to compete at the right skill level for upcoming events like the English Nationals.

Jack and Megan both see the benefits of growing the sport globally. Jack reflected,

“The multiple medals definitely help with validation, especially across the pond," Jack says. "Being able to play in a completely different environment, with a completely different play style and attitudes towards the game, is something that I was not used to. I'm glad I was able to live up to expectations at this tournament and look forward to continuing to do so.” 

Meanwhile, Megan expressed excitement about the sport’s future:

"I think we will continue to see an exponential growth globally as tours evolve and more international tournaments get bigger prize money and draws. It’s an exciting time to be part of pickleball!"

As the sport continues to flourish, Karen adds:

"The more data that goes into DUPR the more accurate our players' information will be, which will help us ensure that players enter the right skill level events which in turn will make brackets fairer for players."

Indeed it is an exciting time to be a part of pickleball, and we can’t wait to continue to provide accurate ratings across the globe throughout every player's pickleball journey!
