Pickleball is a fun, social, and competitive sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and ping-pong. It’s played both indoors and outdoors on a court about half the size of a tennis court, with a slightly lower net.
Players of all ages and any skill level can enjoy the game as doubles or singles. All it takes is a ball and a paddle (both are available at our facilities) to get involved.
With over 36.5 million players and a staggering growth rate of 223.5% from 2021 to 2024, pickleball is rapidly becoming a dominant force in the sports industry. This explosive growth highlights a tremendous opportunity for investment and expansion, making it the perfect time to join this thriving and ever-expanding market.
