Center Court opens fourth Valley pickleball club in Scottsdale

Center Court Pickleball Club opened a 35,000-square-foot indoor facility in Scottsdale on July 10, adding 13 courts, a training center and company headquarters near Shea Boulevard and Loop 101. The expansion lifts Center Court to 51 indoor courts across four Phoenix-area locations as demand for year-round pickleball grows.

Why it matters: - Center Court is betting that year-round, climate-controlled pickleball will keep attracting players across the Phoenix metro area. - The Scottsdale-Shea club adds capacity for leagues, coaching, open play and tournaments in a market where indoor court access is limited. - The facility also expands Center Court’s ability to host events, support members and build a larger connected membership network.
