Cotton vs performance fabric for youth pickleball

Youth pickleball matches are short-burst, high-effort, and run multiple rounds per session. Younger players sweat heavily once they get to the second or third game. Cotton holds the sweat and can feel heavy by the end of a Saturday morning. Performance wicking dries between games and stays comfortable through tournament weekends. Most clubs offer cotton at the casual price point and performance at the league-play price point.
