New Haven, Conn. – The Rossetti Brothers are featured for the fourth time in the printed Guinness World Records™ book with a photo and story depicting their latest pickleball record indexed in the book’s first-ever pickleball section. The newly released 2026 edition features a spread on pages 70-71 highlighting pickleball records, including their most recent feat — the Longest Pickleball Volley Rally of 10,532 consecutive volleys, lasting two hours and 44 seconds. 

Last year, they were featured in the 2025 Guinness World Records™ book for the Longest Pickleball Rally with 16,046 consecutive shots, lasting six hours and 11 minutes.

As of this month, the Rossetti Brothers take over as Directors and Head Pros of Pickleville, located in Westville at 1 Valley Street in New Haven, Connecticut.

“We’re excited and thrilled by the challenge and opportunity,” said Angelo A. Rossetti. “Inspiring people of all ages on and off the court is one of our life goals as is creating a community of passionate and compassionate people through pickleball.”

David Goldberg, owner of Pickleville in New Haven, who also owns Gotham Pickleball in New York — one of the country’s most successful indoor pickleball clubs — shared Angelo’s enthusiasm:

“I’m excited to be investing in the sport of pickleball in Connecticut. The Rossetti Brothers have an influential following in the pickleball world. They’re world-renowned and respected, and we’re excited to bring that level of coaching and energy to the area.”

“Although we serve over 10 clubs, our primary location is Pickleville in New Haven — it’s the proverbial new ‘home of the Rossetti Brothers’,” said Angelo A. Rossetti.

Pickleville is not just a Pickleball club; it’s a state-of-the-art facility featuring special amenities including a merchandise shop, cafe and smoothie bar, a mental skills and video strategy analysis room outfitted with actual movie theatre seats and a big-screen TV. The premium three-court facility features cushioned courts, comfy couches, live-video scoreboards, and instant match replay capabilities. The Rossetti Brothers serve as head pros and directors and offer lessons, clinics, tournaments, leagues and host special community and corporate events.

To celebrate World Pickleball Day on Friday, October 10 and the four-year anniversary of the Longest Pickleball Rally title, the Rossetti Brothers and Pickleville will offer free Open Play for members and only $5 for non-member guests. Light refreshments will be served throughout the day and players will be able to play with and against one or both of the Rossetti Brothers as they drop into the Open Play sessions from 9 AM-5 PM EDT.

The Rossetti Brothers travel throughout the region in a mobile popup pickleball van — a retro-fitted Mercedes Benz Metris cargo van — to spread the sport of pickleball throughout the New England and metro-New York region.

“Our mobile pickleball van is like a pizza truck for pickleball…so maybe Connecticut can become the pickleball capital of the world as it is for pizza and college basketball” quipped Ettore Rossetti. 

“We are thrilled that the Rossetti Brothers are taking over the pickleball programming at Pickleville to provide world-class expertise in our local community,” said Harrison Blume of the Blume family, the developers and property owners.

The Rossetti Brothers story was recently featured in a short documentary film produced by the  Racquet Sports Professionals Association (RSPA). The film can be seen on the RSPA’s YouTube channel or on the Rossetti Brothers Pickleball YouTube playlist. Rossetti Brothers Pickleball, established in 2023, develops pickleball programming and currently serves over 10 clubs and organizations across New England. They provide professional instruction for players of all ages and levels including aspiring touring pros. The brothers also grow the game by certifying coaches to teach the sport through their three-decade membership in RSPA (formerly USPTA). The Racquet Sports Professionals Association (RSPA) is an organization that offers certification and professional development for professional racquet sports teachers and coaches. The brothers are also DUPR (Dynamic Universal Pickleball Rating) coaches, the world’s most popular and accurate pickleball rating system and platform.
