QC Kinetix Becomes Presenting Sponsor of the National Pickleball League to Champion Active, Healthy Lifestyles

Leading Regenerative Medicine Practice Partners with the First Champions Pro (Ages 50+) Professional Pickleball League to Educate Key Demographics on Injury Prevention and Alternatives to Surgery

CHARLOTTE, North Carolina – QC Kinetix, the largest regenerative medicine company in North America focused on leading the change for communities in pain, and the National Pickleball League (NPL) today announced that the company will become the official presenting sponsor of the professional pickleball league for its third season in 2025.

The partnership will brand the league as the “NPL presented by QC Kinetix.” Established in 2022, the NPL is the first Champions Pro (Ages 50+) professional pickleball league. As the sport of pickleball continues to see explosive growth, QC Kinetix aims to target key demographics and educate players on how to prevent injuries, as well as how regenerative medicine can help them stay in the game longer.

With a mission to help people stay active and healthy, QC Kinetix sees a natural synergy in supporting a league that promotes movement, longevity, and overall well-being. Pickleball is a sport that resonates with the brand’s target demographic, and through local activations at league tournaments, social media campaigns, and collaborations with league athletes and ambassadors, QC Kinetix aims to raise brand awareness and the benefits of regenerative medicine.

“We are dedicated to helping people maintain or get back to the life they love, and this typically requires staying active,” said Mark Montini, CEO of QC Kinetix. “Pickleball is a great way to stay healthy, and the NPL is a phenomenal organization that encourages adults over the age of 50 to be involved in the sport. We are excited about our partnership and providing resources and solutions to help players prevent and recover from injuries naturally.”

Created for Champion Pros by Champion Pros, the NPL’s three co-founders embraced the opportunity to elevate the sport through their own experiences. As the NPL enters its third season, it aims to reach more communities and players across the country, partnering with key sponsors that align with the league’s values and mission.

“We’re thrilled to welcome QC Kinetix to the NPL as we share values around health and injury prevention,” said Rod Davis, Chairman and CEO of the NPL. “Our players and the Champions Pro demographic are focused on health, wellness, and active lifestyles, so this partnership with QC Kinetix is a natural fit and we’re excited to bring our brands together this season.”
