Big progress at Open Play this week! 🙌

We’re getting closer to the finish line, and the club is starting to feel more real every day.

Major updates:
- Half of the outdoor padel courts are now poured
- Frontage has been cleaned up, power-raked, and hydroseeded
- Painting is done
- Flooring installation has started
- We’re starting the hiring process

This week, the team prepared, formed, and poured two more outdoor padel courts. These pours are incredibly precise — the surface needs the right broom finish, proper flatness, a slight pitch for drainage, and perfectly placed conduits for lighting and cameras.

Thankfully, our site team nailed it.

We also used extra concrete to create an entrance by the roll-up door, which will help us bring equipment and heavy materials directly into the building.

At the front of the property, the main street sign foundation is done, and the whole frontage area has been graded, power-raked, and hydroseeded. It looks amazing.

Inside, painting is officially complete. We used the club’s blue and yellow, along with dark grey and off-white grey, to tie the whole space together and create the joyful, energetic vibe we want Open Play to have.

Floor prep has also started for our durable, non-slip, water-resistant luxury vinyl plank flooring.

This weekend, Open Play sponsored the Kidde-Fenwal Car Show in Ashland, organized by Peter Kamitian, to raise funds for the American Cancer Society. The highlight was meeting local pickleball legend Nelson Ball, who has done so much for the pickleball community and public courts in Westborough.

Nelson, hats off to you.

𝗪𝗲’𝗿𝗲 𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴!

We’re beginning the hiring process for:
- Front desk team members
- Pickleball coaches
- Padel coaches

If you’re interested, or know someone who might be a great fit, please reach out.

Onwards and upwards!

Big progress at Open Play this week — inside and outside!

We’re getting closer to the finish line, and the club is looking more and more real every day.

Major updates this week:
• Formed and poured the foundation for one outdoor padel court
• Graded the front of the property facing the road
• Painted the mezzanine, Hall of Fame wall, and mechanical room
• Hung all club banners
• Added something very special to the Hall of Fame

The outdoor padel court work officially started! The plan was to pour two courts this week, but construction always keeps us flexible. A partial rebar and wire mesh delivery, plus an electrical inspection requirement to place lighting wires inside conduit under the concrete, meant we completed one court instead of two.

The good news: now that the first court is done, the team knows exactly what needs to be done next. The plan is to pour three courts next week and the remaining two courts the week after so we can catch back up.

We also made sure no concrete went to waste. After the padel court pour, we had about 3–4 yards left, so we used it for the main street sign foundation. Construction is expensive, so every smart save counts!

Inside, painting is about 90% complete. The mezzanine, Hall of Fame wall, and mechanical room now have primer and two coats of high-quality Sherwin-Williams paint designed to resist scuffs, chemicals, and hand oils. Yes, I can sleep better now knowing there will be no hand oils on the walls. 😄

We also installed all the club banners — including one behind each of the 8 indoor pickleball courts and 4 more above the gym and Hall of Fame.

These banners completely changed the feeling of the building. What used to feel like a 25,000-square-foot warehouse now feels like a real club — full of energy, competition, camaraderie, and joy.

And finally, a very special Hall of Fame addition arrived this week: a hand-signed paddle from Andre Agassi, my all-time favorite tennis player and one of the early tennis legends to embrace and promote pickleball.

Every week brings challenges, adjustments, and progress. But the vision keeps becoming more real.

Onwards and upwards!

𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝘁 𝗔𝘃𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝘁 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘆

About a month ago, I shared that we were opening a limited opportunity for a small group of Founding Partners to invest in 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘆 𝗣𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗹 𝗖𝗹𝘂𝗯.

I’m excited to share that we are now almost complete with this fundraising round — with 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘀𝗽𝗼𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 for a new investor.

We are planning to 𝗰𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵, so if this opportunity has been on your mind, now is the time to reach out.

Open Play is getting closer to the finish line, and every week the club looks more like the premium sports and social destination we set out to build.

The vision is simple:

𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆 — 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴.

This Founding Partner round was intentionally limited. I was looking for a small group of people who believe in the vision, understand the growth of pickleball and padel, and want to help build something meaningful in our community.

Founding Partners are expected to receive both 𝗼𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 and 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘆𝗹𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀, including club access and recognition as part of the original group helping bring Open Play to life.

As with any private business investment, there are risks, including possible loss of capital, and no guaranteed returns. Full terms, projections, and risk factors are best discussed privately.

If you are interested, please reach out directly.
