Why Pickleball for your club?

Pickleball is the fastest-growing racket sport in the world — and in Germany we are just at the beginning of this development.

Tennis and multi-sport clubs benefit especially: existing facilities can be used for Pickleball without major investments.

Pickleball appeals to target groups who may find tennis too demanding or too expensive.

Advantage for tennis clubs

Four regular Pickleball courts fit on a standard tennis court (23.77 × 10.97 m) — with sufficient buffer zones.
