Own a turnkey, high-margin piece of the fastest-growing sport in America. This 8,080 sq. ft. indoor pickleball facility is engineered for efficiency, utilizing a proprietary "Smart-Access" ecosystem that allows for 100% remote management.
Unlike traditional fitness centers, this business requires no on-site staffing. Integrated "CourtReserve" and "RemoteLock" systems handle everything from player registrations and digital waivers to facility access and lighting. This proven model has allowed the current owners—one of whom is a full-time teacher—to manage operations entirely from their smartphones while traveling extensively.

About the Business
- Years in Operation
- 2
- Facilities & Assets
- The business operates out of a premier 8,080 sq. ft. facility specifically designed for high-density court utilization. The layout includes professional-grade indoor pickleball courts, a dedicated player lounge, and secure storage.
Key Assets Included:
Proprietary Smart-Access Tech: Integrated RemoteLock and CourtReserve systems that allow for 100% remote facility management.
Member Database: Over 2,000+ verified unique users with digital waivers on file.
FF&E: High-quality court surfacing, nets, court barriers, lounge furniture, and integrated security camera system.
Lease: A favorable long-term lease proposal is in place, offering stability for the new owner in a sought-after commercial corridor. - Market Outlook / Competition
- The pickleball market is the fastest-growing sport in the country, and this facility has a dominant "first-mover" advantage in the local area. Unlike traditional gyms that require heavy staffing, our tech-forward model allows us to offer competitive pricing with significantly higher margins.
Competitive Advantages:
24/7 Potential: The automated entry system allows for expanded play hours without increasing labor costs.
Built-in Loyalty: A massive 2,000+ member database provides a consistent revenue stream and high "court-fill" rates.
Low Barrier to Entry: The facility is fully "plug-and-play," bypassing the current high costs and lead times of building new indoor courts. - Opportunities for Growth
- The business is currently optimized for semi-passive ownership, but there is significant "blue sky" potential for an active owner-operator.
Immediate Growth Opportunities:
Programming: Implementing leagues, clinics, and coached lessons (currently underutilized).
Corporate Events: The 8,000+ sq. ft. space is ideal for private rentals and team-building events, which command premium hourly rates.
Merchandise/Vending: Opportunities for paddle sales, apparel, and high-margin vending or beverage services.
Marketing: Expanding the current reach via paid social advertising to the existing 2,000+ user database to increase off-peak utilization.
