What happens when you create an event designed entirely for pickleball players? In this episode of Third Shot Podcast, Uncle Greg and Brigie sit down with John LoGrasso, founder of the Consumer Pickleball Show, to discuss his vision for bringing the sport's biggest consumer-focused event to Las Vegas on June 13-14, 2026.
John shares how the idea for the show was born, what attendees can expect, and why he believes pickleball enthusiasts deserve an event built specifically for them. From hands-on product demos and exhibitor experiences to pro player appearances, panel discussions, clinics, and opportunities to play with the pros, the Consumer Pickleball Show aims to be a one-of-a-kind gathering for players of every level.
