The Texas Ranchers were founded in 2022, during a pivotal time for the sport of pickleball. As the sport was gaining popularity across the United States, a group of visionary leaders, including prominent figures from sports, entertainment, and business, saw an opportunity to create a team that would embody the bold, independent spirit of Texas. The Ranchers were conceived not just as a competitive team but as a cultural icon that would bring together the community, challenge the status quo, and set new standards in the world of professional sports.The ownership group, comprising individuals like Matthew Mullenweg, co-founder of WordPress, and NFL star Juju Smith-Schuster, among others, brought a wealth of experience and a shared passion for innovation. Their goal was to build a team that would not only compete at the highest levels but also inspire fans through a commitment to inclusiveness, community engagement, and long-term legacy.
