As the Official Eyewear of USA Pickleball, we are thrilled to officially welcome Mary and Maggie Brascia to Team RIA. The Brascia sisters hail from Mission Viejo, California, and are on the rise on the the pro pickleball scene, competing on the PPA Tour and for the MLP Premier Teams Las Vegas Night Owls and California BLQK Bears, respectively.

I love RIA Eyewear. The coolest glasses on the market! I play pickleball for hours upon hours everyday, so having the UV protection is helpful. The glasses are high quality and can sustain long pickleball tournament days. I also love how confident I feel in my RIA eyewear to protect me in the firefight hands battles at the kitchen line. Having the impact protection helps improve my overall game and confidence on the court.

Why does Maggie choose RIA? Hear it from her:
I really love RIA Eyewear. I wear the frames outdoors and indoors. I have blue eyes, so the lenses help protect me from the glare of the sun when I’m outside. I also like the protection they provide from getting tagged by a ball in the face. It gives me confidence to really stay in the exchange when I’m engaged in a quick hands battle at the net. The fact that they are stylish and look great as well is an added bonus!
