Center Court Pickleball Club Plans Massive New Facility in Scottsdale

Interesting Facts

Center Court Pickleball Club is set to elevate the indoor pickleball scene in Scottsdale with its upcoming 35,000-square-foot facility, slated to open in summer 2026.

 

This expansion marks the club's fourth location in the Valley, strategically positioned at the former Big Lots space within the Scottsdale Fiesta Retail Center, near Loop 101 and Shea Boulevard.

 

The new venue aims to provide convenient access for residents of Scottsdale, Phoenix, and Fountain Hills.

 

Construction commenced in February, generating over 100 construction jobs and anticipating the creation of 25 to 50 permanent positions upon opening.

 

Located at 10220 N. 90th Street, the facility will feature 13 courts, emphasizing an enhanced player experience.

 

Center Court Pickleball Club currently operates facilities in Scottsdale, Glendale, and Gilbert, offering multi-club membership options as part of its ongoing growth strategy.

 

"We are succeeding with a proven business model that prioritizes and passionately strives on creating an exceptional pickleball experience for all our members," said Tim Keightley, CEO of Center Court Pickleball Club.

 

"This expansion allows us to serve our growing membership base with more convenient locations, expanding community play and demonstrating our long-term strategy for delivering value through best-in-class pickleball experiences."

 

The new Scottsdale location will also serve as the company's headquarters and training center, offering opportunities for local and national businesses to host training sessions, corporate events, and team-building activities, all while maintaining the exceptional playing experience that defines Center Court's brand.

 

"Our Vision 'Your Game, Our Goal' encourages us to always maintain a strong and healthy balance of business growth with member experience," Keightley added.

 

"By establishing our headquarters in Scottsdale, we are making a long-term commitment to the entire regional community while creating a model that other markets can replicate."

 

Center Court acknowledges the efforts of Brian Gast at Velocity Retail Group, who facilitated the lease at the Scottsdale Fiesta Retail Center.

 

Cresa's Management Division is overseeing construction, led by Clune Construction, with design and architecture by Corgan.

 

New players are welcomed with a 30-day trial for $30.

 

All clubs offer free open play daily, eliminating the need to coordinate players and reserve courts.

 

Center Court Pickleball Club is a member of the Arizona Pickleball Players League (APPL) and partners with USA Pickleball, including hosting Golden Ticket Tournaments to help local players earn a spot at the USA Pickleball Nationals.
