We travel to your club to assess the facilities, land and amenities currently in place. Our goal is to find the best way for you to introduce Pickleball and allow you members to “try” the sport, with minimal investment or disruption to your existing program.

Recent data is showing that Pickleball is attracting golfers, former tennis players and current players and that it is an extremely popular activity that brings together members from all demographics.
Pickelball Facility Assessment and Audit
Our most popular service starts with understanding what you have, and what is possible. Assessment & Audit Service includes:
Facility Walkthrough with your Tennis or Racquets Professional. We’ll get an understanding of your club, your members, the program currently in place, the ideas your team have, and we’ll explore the physical or other limitations which exist pertaining to pickleball.
We’ll review the current Profit & Loss statement of Tennis / Racquets program. We will discuss what resources may be available to begin a Pickleball program and analyze the revenue and expenses associated with the different types of programs currently in place for tennis or other racquet sports.
Based off this review, we’ll provide your team with the following resources:
A customized Guide that we call “Pickleball – From A to P-ickleball”. This guide is designed specifically for private clubs and outlines how to get Pickleball up and running for your members. We provide your team with information and ideas on programs, exhibitions and social events as well as proven strategies on how your club can generate additional revenues directly from the introduction of a professional Pickleball program.
Our Assessment includes recommendations for where pickleball will be best placed within your club without construction of new, dedicated courts.
If you ultimately do decide to build dedicated courts, we provide a personal introduction to a local court builder for either new construction or buying lines.
We direct you to find resources for tape that doesn’t leave residue on your existing hard-court tennis courts (for temporary Pickleball court lines), as well as where to find paddles, balls and the best nets for a new, temporary introduction.
We will meet with Club Management or your Committees to answer questions about pickleball and help your Director or Club Manager to provide the latest and most relevant information to your members.

You can try Pickleball with minimal investment and based on the outcome, decide at a later time on the best long-term Pickleball strategy for your club.
