SHOCK NAME ERIK LANGE HEAD COACH 🏆

We're thrilled to announce Erik Lange as the St. Louis Shock's first-ever Head Coach on a multi-year deal!

Erik isn't new to the Shock family, he played for us in our 2023 expansion season and returned as a bench player during our historic 2025 championship run. Now he's leading the charge as we defend our titles.

Why Erik? ✅ 2023 MLP Champion as a player ✅ Multiple medals on PPA, APP, USA Pickleball Nationals & English Open ✅ Deep understanding of our championship culture ✅ Strategic mindset + player development focus 

"I couldn't be more excited to become Head Coach of the Shock – undoubtedly the leading franchise in MLP – and continue building off of our 2025 success. Championships are the ultimate goal, and player development and personal growth will be cornerstones of this pursuit." - Erik Lange

From player to leader. Let's go! 💪

Look what we found at Target! Kate is the definition of a dog lover. I don’t know what it is, but something about playing pickleball with dogs around just feels right.

More dogs at ‪@MajorLeaguePickleball‬ events in the future please & thank you 🙏 🐶
