History

Our Journey Began on the Courts
In 2023, when Rancho Santana built three new pickleball courts, Geoff and his son Jeremy picked up paddles for the first time and immediately connected with the game. What began as a fun way for a father and son to bond quickly became a shared passion that brought the entire family closer. By 2024, all eight members of the Bourgeois family were playing regularly, training together, encouraging one another, and embracing pickleball as both a sport and a way of life.

From Passion to Purpose
At the end of 2024, that passion sparked a bigger vision. The Bourgeois family launched Palmera Pickleball not only to compete, but to invest in the sport they all believe in. For the Bourgeois family, pickleball is more than a game. It is a shared pursuit that reflects their values of hard work, togetherness, and lifelong learning. Pickleball is more than a game. It brings people together, transcends cultures, and connects generations.

Our passion Runs Deep

Palmera Pickleball is more than a business. It is a shared family mission built on love, purpose, and a commitment to growing together. What began as a casual game between Geoff and his son Jeremy quickly became something more. As Jeremy pursues his goals as both an entrepreneur and a competitive player, the rest of the Bourgeois family has stepped in to support the vision.

As a family-friendly company, Palmera is a place where the children grow up surrounded by the values of entrepreneurship, teamwork, discipline, community, and resiliency towards a long-term vision.
