Professional pickleball has expanded rapidly, yet sport-specific nutrition guidance remains absent. Current information available to athletes comes largely from non-professional or industry sources and lacks an evidence-based foundation. This project aims to address that gap by developing a nutrition protocol tailored specifically for professional pickleball players. The approach synthesizes data from pickleball workload studies, racket-sport physiology, and established sports nutrition consensus statements. Key focus areas include fueling strategies, protein distribution for recovery, hydration and sodium planning, heat acclimation and cooling practices, travel and jet-lag management, altitude considerations, and evidence-based supplementation. By integrating findings from racket-sport analogs and intermittent high-intensity training with consensus guidelines, the project generates practical recommendations organized around the unique demands of pickleball play, including singles versus doubles formats and multi-match tournament schedules. The resulting nutrition protocol provides clear carbohydrate and protein targets, hydration strategies, nutrient timing, as well as a plan for recovery and environmental stressors such as heat, altitude, and travel. This resource represents the first structured, evidence-based nutrition framework designed for pickleball athletes. It is immediately applicable for professional players and coaches while also establishing a foundation for future research on recreational participants, older adults, and youth athletes. This work demonstrates that an evidence-based nutrition protocol tailored to professional pickleball athletes is both feasible and necessary, providing immediate practical guidance while establishing a foundation for future research.
