Ben Johns is considered by many to be the greatest pickleball player of all time. Ben has been the #1 player in all three divisions for most of the last three years. His dominance has included a 108-match winning streak in singles. With over 150 PPA Titles to his name (and counting), and more Triple Crowns than any other male in professional pickleball history (where a “Triple Crown” refers to winning gold medals in all three divisions during a single tournament), he is destined for the Pickleball Hall of Fame.

He is still one of the youngest players on the PPA Tour.

Ben’s sponsors include JOOLA Pickleball, Foot Solutions, and Jigsaw Health. He plays with his signature JOOLA Perseus, which he helped develop.

Outside of pickleball, Ben completed his studies at the University of Maryland in Materials Science & Engineering. His other hobbies include traveling, reading, weightlifting, playing various other sports (including spikeball, golf, chess, and table tennis). He is the co-owner of two businesses: Pickleball Getaways (all-inclusive vacations with pickleball instruction), and Pickleball 360 (instructional video subscription service).

Johns is the middle child of seven children. Ben’s brother, Collin, is also on the tour, and his sister, Hannah, works for the PPA Tour as a sideline reporter and senior content editor.
