Freedom Pickleball is a concept in development between dedicated Pickleball players and like-minded investors. We recognise the opportunity for the development of dedicated playing space as the take up of the sport in the UK grows. However, the concept of a dedicated Pickleball centre needs to be proven at specific locations. In other words, we need to demonstrate there is a market mature enough to sustain revenue with the aim of establishing a chain of Centres across the UK.
In the USA there are many facilities across the country which offer dedicated Pickleball playing space even with established franchises for Pickleball providers. After all it is a sport played by around 48 million people there. In the UK there are approximately 35 thousand players and so it is undertandable that very few dedicated permanent Pickleball courts exist in the UK.
If you play Pickleball in the UK the chances are you are playing on a badminton court with a lowered badminton net. You might be lucky enough to play somewhere which has proper Pickleball nets.
You are putting up with an incorrectly marked kitchen line, net posts which extend upwards, an inconsistent net height and an inability to properly execute ATP shots.
How fantastic would it be to play on a proper Pickleball court with ample space to serve and return and then scamper round the court for that sweet ATP or ERNE? A proper net, kitchen line and no other lines marked on the court surface. That is what Freedom Pickleball aims to give you. Freedom to play Pickleball as it should be played - Play Your Way!
But we need YOUR INPUT to show to the investors that this is a viable proposition and that the player numbers are out there. Please please please visit our Tell Us page and fill in the contact form and let us know where and when you would like to be playing. All we are asking for is nothing more than a name and email address - we can then keep you posted directly on our progress on the path to opening the doors to our first dedicated Pickleball Centre.
For the time being we are keeping our identity secret in order to protect our potential investors. As soon as we are able to share more information, this site will be updated.
