Center Court Pickleball Club opens fourth Valley facility in Scottsdale

Center Court Pickleball Club opened a 35,000-square-foot indoor pickleball facility in Scottsdale on July 10, adding 13 courts, a training center and new headquarters. The expansion lifts the company to 51 indoor courts across four Phoenix-area locations as it pushes year-round play, coaching and tournaments.

Why it matters: - The Scottsdale opening expands Center Court Pickleball Club’s indoor footprint in the Phoenix metro area and adds another year-round option for players in a climate where weather can limit outdoor play. - The new club is built to serve beginners, recreational players and tournament competitors in one location. - The facility also strengthens Center Court’s ability to host events, training and community programming across the Valley.
