Dedicated Indoor Pickleball Courts Coming Soon to SPORTIME Schenectady!
SPORTIME SCHENECTADY PICKLEBALL ARE YOU READY?
As most of you are likely aware, Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in history and appeals to players of all ages and skill levels. At recreational levels, pickleball is easy to learn and enjoy quickly. At more advanced levels, its fast pace and strategic play is intense and competitive. SPORTIME offers pickleball players and enthusiasts of all levels the opportunity to learn, compete, or just play for fun!
We are very excited to announce that, as part of our current reconstruction project, now well underway, SPORTIME Schenectady will be converting our former 2-court tennis building into a 5-court Pickleball Center. Our new pickleball facility will offer dedicated, indoor, pickleball courts by late Summer 2023!
Our indoor pickleball courts will feature permanent nets and lines and a professional-grade playing surface. Four of the courts will be regulation size, with courtside viewing and seating, and our "stadium" court will be oversized, with bleacher seating, to accommodate tournaments and special events. The pickleball center will be heated, air-conditioned and dehumidified for year-round playing comfort, with ultra-bright LED lighting customized to the layout of the courts.
Our newly reconstructed lobby will offer excellent viewing on both the ground floor and mezzanine levels. A new, expanded, upstairs lounge, overlooking the pickleball courts will provide the ideal setting for team meetings, parties, or just to socialize before and/or after play.
SPORTIME Pickleball will offer daily, level-rated open play sessions and clinics, along with open-time and seasonal court rentals, private lessons, league play, tournaments, special events and parties, and so much more! A detailed schedule of our Pickleball programs and activities will be shared soon, but members/players can secure your seasonal contract time today.
If you are ready to get in on the action, but don’t have a pickleball rating yet, we will make best efforts to place you with the appropriate groups and then adjust as needed.
