Meet the Team

Pickle Li is one of the founders of ATL Picklebrawl.

After recognizing a gap in quality tournament options in the Atlanta area, he set out to create something better 💪

He is also a 5.0 pickleball player, content creator and founder of MyPickleList, a community-driven paddle rating system!

As one of the founders of ATL Picklebrawl, I am driven by a passion for connecting people and building community.

Picklebrawl was created as a platform where players, spectators, and local businesses can come together and grow.

Nothing excites me more than a full day of pickleball—watching people laugh, compete, and create memories they'll never forget.

Love the ATL Picklebrawl tournaments and the community it created!

It's been cool watching it grow and I've met so many fun, awesome people and players over the last year.

So excited to be part of building this community!

As a player, I'm known for good defense, good vibes, and questionable line calls (LOL just kidding... mostly).

Originally came from basketball, so ball is life 🏀

My favorite pickleball memory is when I successfully got through a tournament without arguing with my husband :)

I love watching competitive pickleball, but even more, I love building friendships and fostering a real community around the game.

As a player, I'm an erratic, overreactive lefty.

Before pickleball, my first love was basketball, but pickleball works for now.

Off the court, I help run my wife's pickleball YouTube channel Arielle Picklez and enjoy long runs.

Find me on Strava!

I've played sports my entire life, and discovering pickleball introduced a completely different set of skills.

What I love most is how it unites people of all backgrounds, skill levels, shapes, and sizes. It's more than just a sport to me—it creates a space where people can talk, laugh, compete, and build real friendships.

Every day on the court is different. I love meeting new people, mixing things up with different partners, and creating an upbeat atmosphere full of laughs. Pickleball brings people together in a way that's both competitive and fun.

I didn't grow up playing sports, so learning pickleball meant starting from scratch — but that's what makes it so special. With dedication and a lot of learning along the way, I've fallen in love with a sport that truly welcomes everyone, unites people, makes competition fun, and that's what keeps me coming back.

Pickleball has pushed me to compete, learn, and grow both on and off the court. It's my favorite way to stay active while having fun.

I'm grateful for the journey and the people I get to share it with. Excited to see where this sport and this community takes me next.
