The popularity of pickleball has exploded across the country and become one of Arizona’s most popular sports, with thousands of players hitting the courts daily.
What’s more, the Sports and Fitness Industry Association said it’s been the fastest-growing sport in America for three years in a row, so it’s no wonder that a brand new indoor pickleball club, Center Court Pickleball, is opening its second and third locations in Glendale and Scottsdale in the fall.
The new business combines top-tier amenities comparable to high-quality gyms and invites players of all skill levels to play on 16 regulation-sized courts. Spanning 47,000 square feet, the Glendale club promises to offer cutting-edge courts as well as private lessons, group sessions, clinics, leagues, tournaments, open play and room to book exclusive events.
Center Court Pickleball Club promises the essence of always being a “Center Court,” allowing members to indulge in a range of exclusive amenities such as a plush member lounge, fully equipped locker rooms with showers and a wellness area featuring HydroMassage and CyroLounge. There will also be a stretch area, a retail shop, a beverage wall and grab-and-go food options.
“We want to inspire our communities to play pickleball for life,” Founder Tarl Robinson said. “My hope is your time at Center Court will consistently be a highlight of your day. Additionally, the fitness component at our latest club is designed to heighten your overall experience and keep you at the top of your game.”
For avid players, a membership may be the best option. Founders memberships start at $129 a month and include six guest passes a year, 50 percent off ball machine rentals, admission to special Founders events, complimentary HydroMassage and CyroLounge and more.
Crew Memberships allow players to link their membership with family and friends at a discounted monthly rate of $105 per person. This membership encompasses comprehensive court access, exclusive discounts, invitations to special events and access to premium facility services.
Center Court Pickleball Club recently opened in Gilbert and a Scottsdale location is also in the works. The new Glendale location will open at 5960 West Bell Road. For more information, visit centercourtpickleball.com.
