Interview with Cody Sivan | The Palmera Pickleball Show: Episode 2

In the second episode of The Palmera Pickleball Show, I sat down with Cody Sivan, a pickleball entrepreneur. He's not just organizing tournaments, he's changing the competitive pickleball scene.

Cody is the founder of Brickwall Pickleball, a company known for running some of the most talked-about moneyball events. The way he executes them is what sets him apart. His tournaments draw crowds, bring in high-level players, and generate the kind of energy that keeps people coming back. Players have traveled across state lines just to play in his events. The feedback is overwhelmingly positive, and it’s clear he’s doing something right.

"It all starts with a fair payout... we pride ourselves on a fair payout" -Cody Sivan

That kind of thinking is why his Moneyball tournaments work. They’re high energy. They’re player-focused. And they’re rooted in a very simple, very real understanding of what makes competition entertaining.

Cody also talked about how he got started, what challenges he faced early on, and where he sees the game heading.

"I think moneyballs are peak pickleball... it really brings the community together" -Cody Sivan

It’s that blend of grassroots hustle and sharp production that’s making waves. And for anyone looking to build something in this sport, there are lessons here.

So if you want a behind-the-scenes look at one of the most interesting minds in the game right now, and hear how a unique take on the Moneyball format is shaking things up, give this episode a watch.
