Viking Athletics

With over 30 years of experience in making the best balls and paddles

in the game which have helped produce dozens of national champions

this century alone, Viking has a history that cannot be matched.

For the better part of the last three decades, we have been the

unquestioned leader in platform tennis and – to this day - continue to

play an dominant role in driving the continued growth and development

of the sport. Viking is one of the few brands across all sports that

is synonymous with the sport for which it manufactures products

while our “Helmet & Horns” logo is the most recognizable symbol in

platform tennis. Since most players can remember, Viking has been

an immovable constant in the game and players at all levels have

continually chosen our products, which include balls, paddles, bags,

backpacks, gloves, warmitts, overgrips, eyewear

In June of 2021, Viking was purchased by co-managing partners Alex

Bancila and Matt Wierzel. This change in leadership will allow Viking

to transition from a company previously owned by private equity to a

company that is now owned by players. Our mission is simple: continue

to develop innovative technologies year in and year out in order to

provide the highest quality products on the market and make the game

more enjoyable for all players.
