The Pickleball Academy

TAMPA BAY PICKLEBALLY ACADEMY: As our family looks toward the future of the Pickleball Academy, we believe we've built something special -- a strong culture, a great team, and an incredible community. Our goal now is to build the right long-term structure to support the next stage of growth.

One idea we're especially excited about is the potential for local partnership/ownership -- bringing together passionate local players and business leaders who want to help shape the future of their home club.

We believe there's something powerful about a club being owned by the people who play there, support it, and care deeply about its long-term success. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, we're exploring ways for each facility to become even more connected to the local community it serves.

If you love pickleball, believe in what we're building, and think you might be interested in helping shape the future of the Tampa Bay Pickleball Academy, I'd love to connect. Whether you're thinking about a partnership, local ownership, or simply want to learn more, there's absolutely no commitment -- just an opportunity to have a conversation and see whether there might be a good fit.

If that sounds like you, send me a text at 727-643-6987. I'd love to hear your thoughts and explore what the next chapter of the Pickleball Academy could look like together. -- Eric

AFTER 3 YEARS & 58 COURTS -- WE'RE READY TO TALK ABOUT WHAT COMES NEXT! Hey TBPB Family -- Eric here.

Over the last three and 1/2 years, our Family has built something we're genuinely proud of — 58 courts across five markets, thousands of players introduced to this game, and communities in Tampa, Lakeland, Savannah, Greenville and Atlanta that we love deeply.

Our family has built the foundation — and we're actively thinking through what the next chapter requires. It may call for a different kind of thinking, different resources, and potentially some new partners around the table.

With that in mind, we're quietly exploring two paths:

1. Bringing in the right partner or investor who shares our vision and wants to help us build this properly — with the team, the capital, and the infrastructure to do it at scale.

2. Selling one or more of our facilities to the right person or group — someone who has always wanted to own their own business, build a community around a sport they love, and create something meaningful. Whether that means partnering with us and carrying our brand forward, or stepping fully into ownership and building something entirely your own — we're open to the conversation.

Here's what we have across our portfolio:

🎾 Oldsmar / Tampa — 6 Courts + potential to add additional outdoor or indoor Padel & Pickleball Courts (actively exploring)

🎾 Lakeland — 7 Courts

🎾 Savannah — 8 Courts + a 26-Court contract with Chatham County Parks (a rare government-backed opportunity)

🎾 Greenville — 9 Courts, 2 miles from downtown

🎾 Atlanta — 2 Courts (low-capital proof of concept, great market)

We're open to discussing any facility individually, combining locations into a single acquisition, or bringing in a partner to help us grow the whole platform properly. Every conversation is welcome.

We're simply trying to think through the next steps properly. But we know this community is full of incredible people — and sometimes the right conversation starts in the most unexpected place.

If any of this resonates — or if you know someone who might be the right fit — text me directly at 727.643.6987. Happy to have a quiet conversation.

Thank you for being part of this journey. Whatever comes next, we love the TBPB Family -- all of you are one of the biggest blessings of this adventure!
