Jace Howard has been playing pickleball for six years, initially picking up the sport as a cross-training tool while competing in baseball and football. What began as a way to stay sharp quickly developed into a full-time passion and a professional career.
For the past three years, Howard has competed in professional events and is now an officially signed touring professional on the PPA Tour. He trains daily at Hypesol Academy in Gilbert, Arizona, where he continues to develop his game and compete at the highest level.
