ABOUT THE HAGERSTOWN HIT SQUAD

The Hagerstown Hit Squad is built for competitors who refuse to slow down. The team exists to give 35+ athletes a place to play at a high level, push their limits, and stay deeply connected to the game. Pickleball is more than a sport to the Hit Squad. It is a community builder, a wellness driver, and a platform for meaningful connection. The team is committed to representing Hagerstown with pride, intensity, and sportsmanship, while welcoming partnerships with businesses and organizations that want to be part of pickleball’s rapid growth. Above all, the Hit Squad is made up of driven athletes and genuine people who support one another, compete with purpose, and elevate everyone around them on and off the court.
