Sure, the paddle is important. But a racquet bag, like any other carryall, reflects our personal needs and style—and is vital to carry everything you need for a match.

With plenty of options to choose from, it can be hard to know what qualities you really need in a bag. “It’s important to think about how long you are playing for,” says Chris Haworth. Haworth, fresh off his pickleball APP gold medal and PPA silver medal wins, says, “Your bag has to be big enough to carry anything you will need in that time! Sunscreen, towels, extra shirts, socks, and paddles.”

You have your shoes and outfit; now it's time to finish the look. Ahead, we have compiled a list of pickleball bags for every level of player. Whether you are a touring pro or just starting your pickleball journey, everyone deserves a bag that is fit to win! Here, the 20 best of the season.

    One reviewer writes: "I play pickleball regularly and this bag is amazing. I can carry balls, shoes, change of clothes and a large pouch with all my makeup products in the main compartment. A zippered outside section is perfect for glasses, phone gloves, etc. love the color and trim."

      Pros
      • Removable and adjustable strap
      • Waterproof material
      Cons

        I love a two-for-one, and this Callie bag is no exception. The removable strap allows for a crossbody or handbag moment (does that make it a three-for-one?), and not to mention the custom monogramming adds a nice personal touch.

        One reviewer writes: "The embroidery on this tote is such a nice touch. It makes it stand out from other pickleball bags on the market."
