Center Court Pickleball Club, a new premier indoor pickleball destination, is introducing its exclusive, top-tier indoor pickleball experience to Arizona through three new Valley locations opening in Gilbert, Glendale and Scottsdale in 2024 that are set to wow members with high-end amenities, state-of-the-art courts and club membership benefits.
Founded by avid pickleball player Wayne Marris, Center Court Pickleball Club aims to elevate the indoor pickleball experience with luxury amenities more consistent with a high-end gym or golf club, while still providing a welcoming environment where community members and players of all skill levels can enjoy the game. Plus, Center Court is unique in that it offers low wait times for players.
Each Center Court Pickleball Club location will offer state-of-the-art courts ranging from regulation-sized courts to larger courts with the unique concept that “every court feels like a Center Court.” Additional exclusive amenities include a players’ lounge, luxury locker rooms with showers, a wellness area with hydro massage and cryotherapy chairs, a stretch area, retail shop, beverage tap wall, grab-and-go food options, social gathering areas and a unique feature known as “Center Court,” which is a notably larger court offering additional seating and enhanced viewing experiences for feature and championship matches.
“Pickleball enthusiasts deserve more than crowded courts and an unreliable game experience,” says CEO Wayne Morris. “Center Court Pickleball Club offers a premier indoor facility and exclusive community so you can connect with players that love the game as much as you do.”
Morris brings more than 20 years of experience working with health clubs along with filling executive roles at The Ritz Carlton and Ochsner Health to Center Court Pickleball Club. In his vision to create a curated, members-only experience for all players and their guests, Morris teamed up with Plexus Worldwide founder Tarl Robinson to create the ultimate destination for the fastest-growing sport in America.
“We want to inspire our communities to play pickleball for life.” says Robinson. “My hope is your time at Center Court will consistently be a highlight of your day.”
All clubs are purposefully designed with the players’ experience in mind. Players can reserve court space and engage in group sessions, clinics, leagues, tournaments and open play where they can enjoy competitive social games with like-skilled players and other special events. Center Court also offers membership options for individuals, as well as an innovative concept called “Crew Memberships,” which allows players to link their membership with family and friends at a discounted rate. Members will have complete access to the courts, discounts and perks that will include special events and facility services.
The new Center Court facility in Gilbert will be 30,000 square-feet with 10 courts located at 1433 E. Williamsfield Road, while the Glendale location will be 47,000 square feet with 16 courts located at 5960 West Bell Road. Details for the Scottsdale location are still being finalized and Center Court is already planning expansion beyond the Phoenix metro area within the next 18–24 months.
