Meet Charles & Krysti Neufeldt

Meet Krysti and Charles Neufeldt
Founders, athletes, and pickleball enthusiasts, Krysti and Charles Neufeldt are passionate about bringing high-quality pickleball and beach tennis products to players across North America.

In 2020, Charles saw a gap in the Canadian market for premium beach tennis paddles and took the leap by launching Alpha. Shortly after, he introduced Alpha Pickleball—Canada’s first fast, pro-level ball designed to perform consistently in all weather conditions.

Today, Alpha has expanded to offer a diverse range of pickleball gear, including nine innovative paddle models, three uniquely crafted pickleballs, and a top-tier tour bag for every level of play.

Charles and Krysti’s journey together began at the 2021 APP Philly Open, where they were introduced by a mutual friend. Krysti then took home gold in Women's Doubles. Since then, they’ve not only gotten married but also teamed up in business, opening Pickleball Paddles US in South Jersey, a family-run store providing exceptional pickleball products. Visit them online at www.PickleballPaddlesUS.com.

In addition, Charles co-owns Pickleball Paddles Canada, a chain of stores serving the growing Canadian pickleball community, alongside his partners Phil and Ray Greenwood. Learn more at www.PickleballPaddlesCanada.ca.

At the heart of their mission is a commitment to their customers. Krysti and Charles believe in always putting the customer first. If you ever encounter an issue with a product, don't hesitate to reach out—they’re here to ensure you have the best experience possible.
