The Business
Pickleball is the fastest-growing sport in America with 36+ million players. A dedicated pickleball facility with 8-12 courts can generate $50K-100K/month through memberships, court rentals, lessons, leagues, and pro shop sales. Membership models at $50-100/month with 1,000-2,000 members create massive recurring revenue. The startup cost is high but the demand is proven.
How to Start
Convert an existing warehouse or tennis facility to pickleball courts ($50K-150K per court conversion). Start with a membership model plus open play times. Add programming: leagues ($200/season), clinics ($40/session), private lessons ($60-80/hour). Build community — pickleball players are social and loyal. Court utilization above 60% means you're profitable.
