For Immediate Release: SPORTIME Pickleball Announces Opening of New Dedicated Indoor Pickleball Club in Armonk, New York
11-Court Facility Expands SPORTIME Pickleball’s Westchester Presence to 27 Courts
ARMONK, NY — [March 13, 2026] — SPORTIME Pickleball, a division of SPORTIME Clubs and the Tri-state area’s fastest-growing and most innovative pickleball club operator and programmer, today announced the grand opening of SPORTIME Pickleball Armonk, located at 112 Business Park Drive, scheduled for Sunday, March 15th. SPORTIME Pickleball’s newly constructed facility expands SPORTIME’s Westchester footprint to 27 dedicated indoor and outdoor pickleball courts, including the recently opened SPORTIME Pickleball Yorktown, along with existing tennis and pickleball locations in Mamaroneck and Eastchester, further establishing SPORTIME as the region’s leading pickleball provider.
The new Armonk facility will feature 11 dedicated, climate-controlled, indoor courts offering year-round play and instruction, courtside viewing, modern player facilities, and two party rooms for member and community events. Its location, near the Connecticut border, will allow the site to serve players from both Westchester and Fairfield Counties, offering them a variety of opportunities for recreational and competitive play, in addition to new-player programs for adults and juniors.
“The opening of our new club in Armonk represents another step toward our goal of serving the pickleball community in the greater Westchester area, and beyond, with the absolute best pickleball facilities and programs,” said Claude Okin, CEO of SPORTIME Clubs. “SPORTIME Pickleball Armonk is a one-of-a-kind facility that was constructed for SPORTIME, to our specifications. Members, players and students of all levels are going to love it!”
Community Focused, Community Driven
SPORTIME Pickleball Armonk is designed to be deeply rooted in the local community. “We have already seen incredible enthusiasm for our new Armonk facility and our leadership team there will build on that momentum,” said Joe Siegel, Managing Director of SPORTIME Pickleball. “In addition to serving our members, we are actively exploring partnerships with local school and community-based organizations. Our goal is always to build deep ties within the communities where we do business, and to be a valuable resource that improves residents’ lives by offering healthy and family-friendly activities.”
Two experienced SPORTIME leaders will oversee the new facility:
- Jonny Fintak, Pickleball Director, is a longtime tennis and pickleball coach, and formerly the pickleball director at SPORTIME Lake Isle and SPORTIME Harbor Island. Jonny is a pickleball pied piper, with extensive expertise in programming, tournaments, and player development.
- Kylene Murray, a former top-ranked collegiate tennis star and professional tennis player on the WTA Tour, will be the site’s General Manager. Formerly the operations manager and pickleball director at SPORTIME Randall’s Island, Kylene has a proven track record of community engagement and operational leadership.
“Kylene and Jonny are among the best,” said Siegel. “The facility is in excellent hands.”
Expanding Access Across the Tri-State Area
The Armonk opening follows the launch of four new SPORTIME Pickleball clubs in the last year, including sites in Englewood, NJ, Westbury, NY, Wayne, NJ and Yorktown Heights, NY. Together, these new facilities represent a significant investment in the future of pickleball, providing unmatched indoor access to the nation’s fastest-growing sport.
“Our Armonk and Yorktown Heights locations, along with our other clubs, are creating a foundation that will serve players for decades to come,” notes Okin. “SPORTIME Pickleball is dedicated to providing players with year-round access to outstanding facilities and programming. As in tennis, SPORTIME is committed to creating the Tri-state area’s most comprehensive pickleball network.”
