China-Based Ramsports Nets Pickleball Pro Thomas Yu as Brand Aims for Global Expansion
Ramsports, China’s leading pickleball brand, recently signed American professional player Thomas Yu as its first ever international ambassador. This partnership marks a new, exciting chapter for both Yu, one of pickleball’s best, most dynamic players, and Ramsports’ growth as a pickleball brand.
“Ramsports is currently the most professional and forward-looking pickleball brand in China. Collaborating with them is not just a partnership between an athlete and a brand, but also a journey of culture, vision, and belief,” said Yu at the official signing ceremony held at Ramsports Pickleball Stadium in Longhua District in Shenzhen, China.
As part of the signing, Yu also toured the facilities of Ramsports and connected with several local players as he shared his insights and expertise about pickleball and also his ideas about the sport.
“In the U.S., pickleball is growing at an incredible speed. Here at Ramsports, I see the same energy. Apart from these high-standard courts, there are well-organized competitions and a genuinely vibrant community. Such a platform is essential for the long-term development of pickleball,” Yu shared.
Ramsports Finds the Perfect Partner
Ramsports, whose motto is “Sports without borders, culture with warmth,” found in Yu an ideal partner, as the rising pickleball sensation brings a multicultural background and a global outlook that perfectly align with the brand’s bold vision.
Together, Yu and Ramsports are planning to launch a series of groundbreaking initiatives that include innovative racket designs, youth training camps, and cultural exchange programs. These initiatives aim to build a thriving, interconnected pickleball community across Asia and the world.
“Signing Thomas Yu not only represents a significant step forward for Ramsports’ brand globalization, but it also conveys our faith in this sport: pickleball is not just a sport; it is a language that connects the world,” Ramsports further said about Yu coming on board.
Yu began his sporting career playing tennis but soon pivoted to pickleball, the world’s fastest-rising sport. He has since compiled an impressive record and has showcased an unmatched passion for promoting pickleball. He has made a name not only in exceling in tournaments, but also in making time out of his busy schedule to interact with newcomers and expand the game’s growing reach.
Indeed, Yu’s signing is a coup for Ramsport as the young man embodies everything great about the sport—competitive, spirited, inspiring, and community centred. With this dynamic collaboration, Ramsports and Yu are aiming to energise the pickleball landscape all around China and across the world as well. The utimate goals are to turn Yu into an international superstar, transform Ramsport into a global brand, and grow pickleball even more.
