FORWRD - Never Settle.


Welcome to FORWRD (Formerly KTCHN) - the brand of passionate Pickleball players and experienced entrepreneurs who felt a deep-seated need in the Pickleball community – a need for an unparalleled Pickleball backpack experience.

Our story was born out of necessity. We love quality products that last a lifetime and don't settle for anything less.

Despite the vast array of backpacks available, none quite hit the mark for carrying the gear of a true Pickleball enthusiast who also cares about style and quality. In response to this dilemma, FORWRD was born – a company dedicated to creating the finest Pickleball backpack in the industry. And committed to never settling.

We're not just manufacturers. We are passionate Pickleball players, just like you, and we've spent years on the court understanding what you really need from a backpack. When nothing seemed to satisfy our standards, we decided it was time to step up to the plate and craft our own – The Court Caddy.

Our ethos at FORWRD is prioritizing the needs and feedback of our community and customers. Before designing the Court Caddy, we engaged with hundreds of fellow Pickleball players, picking their brains to comprehend the desired features and benefits they sought in a backpack. Our community invaluable input became the blueprint for our project.

With their feedback at the helm and guided by the expertise of a world-renowned bag designer, we set about turning our vision into a reality.

Today, we are thrilled to present to you the final iteration of our first Pickleball Backpack, the Court Caddy.

FORWRD is about more than just a product. We are a brand built upon dedication, innovation, and above all, our love for Pickleball. We hope that you feel our commitment to exceptional quality and thoughtful design every time you use our gear.

We look FORWRD to serving the Pickleball community for many more years to come. Thank you for your trust and business.
