ST. LOUIS WELCOMES THE WORLD’S LARGEST PADEL + PICKLEBALL CLUB
The St. Louis Sporting Landscape: Welcoming the World's Largest Padel and Pickleball Club Amidst a Rich Athletic Tradition
From historic baseball diamonds to bustling hockey rinks and soccer fields echoing with cheers, St. Louis has consistently showcased a fervor for sports. This December, the city sports landscape is set to be redefined as The Padel + Pickleball Club of St. Louis marks its grand entrance. Not only does it signify the city's adapting sports culture, but it also stands proudly as the world's largest facility dedicated exclusively to these two emerging racket sports.
Diversifying the Sporting Palette
While padel and pickleball are steadily making their mark, they are joining a rich community of sports in St. Louis. We are a city that has recently welcomed the thrill of an STL City SC goal as passionately as a Cardinal’s home run. We are a sports town.
Pickleball, a delightful blend of tennis, badminton, and table tennis, is winning American hearts. Additionally, padel, with its unique glass-walled courts, is gaining global momentum. In a city that reverberates with soccer anthems and baseball cheers, it's fitting that such a monumental club for racket sports finds its home.
Crafting Exceptional Experiences
Beyond infrastructure, the essence of a sports club is the memories it fosters. The Padel + Pickleball Club, with its six padel courts and eight pickleball courts, promises an unparalleled sporting experience. Catering to both seasoned athletes and enthusiastic beginners, the venue promises a welcoming atmosphere.
More Than Just a Game
With a myriad of activities—open plays, competitive tournaments, and instructional clinics—the club is hoping for a space for all walks of life. Founder Mike Puertas’ vision transcends beyond the courts. It aspires to be a center for enthusiasts to not only play but to connect. Comfortable locker rooms and a communal area offer members a space to share, relax, and mingle.
“St. Louis has such a rich history in racquet sports, it was a natural fit for a new facility encompassing two of the fastest-growing sports in the world. In creating the world’s largest indoor padel and pickleball facility, our vision was twofold: to introduce these exhilarating sports to a broader audience and to establish a community hub where friends compete and memories are forged.”
Charting New Territories in Sports
You’ll find the new club nestled strategically in Olivette, at 1220 North Price Road. As the countdown to its December opening begins, it promises to be a fitness landmark, bolstering St. Louis' reputation as a sporting hub.
