Ace Pickleball Club unveils plans for indoor facility in Peachtree City

In a vibrant meeting at Peachtree City’s planning commission, excitement filled the air as representatives from Ace Pickleball Club unveiled their ambitious plans to establish a new indoor pickleball facility in the community. Madison, a member of the corporate team, shared the club's origins, tracing back to 2020 when founder Jay Diedrich envisioned a space that would provide a welcoming environment for players of all ages, inspired by his experiences with outdoor pickleball in Florida.

The club's first location in Roswell, Georgia, has already seen remarkable success, boasting 14 courts and a growing membership that has surged from 3,400 to over 1,000 in just a short time. John Cyphers, the franchisee for Peachtree City, expressed his enthusiasm for the project, highlighting the rapid growth of pickleball—an impressive 500% increase in participation over the past five years. He emphasized the need for more indoor courts in the area, which would allow residents to enjoy the sport year-round, regardless of weather conditions.

Cyphers explained the club's flexible membership model, which allows both members and non-members to play without the hassle of court reservations. This accessibility aims to foster a sense of community, inviting players from all skill levels to engage in the sport. The facility is designed not just for play but also as a social hub, offering opportunities for corporate events and birthday parties, further enriching the local culture.

As the meeting progressed, community members expressed their support for the initiative, recognizing the potential benefits of having such a facility in Peachtree City. With plans to expand to 15 locations by the end of the year and a vision for 25 clubs nationwide, Ace Pickleball Club is poised to make a significant impact on the local sports landscape, promising to bring together residents in a shared love for the game. The excitement surrounding this project reflects a growing trend in recreational activities that prioritize community and inclusivity, setting the stage for a new era of engagement in Peachtree City.
