Legacy Pickleball Club Aims to Become the Premiere Pickleball Destination in the Northeast
Anyone who lives in the Northeast can attest: It's hard to find a great indoor pickleball facility.
You'd think they'd be everywhere like they are in hot climates, given that most outdoor courts become unplayable for most of the long winters there.
Nestled in the heart of Saratoga Springs, New York, Legacy Pickleball Club promises an unparalleled pickleball experience with state-of-the-art amenities players want.
Boasting eight indoor cushioned courts, Legacy Pickleball Club invites players to immerse themselves in the game without the discomfort often associated with traditional asphalt indoor courts.
The proprietary 7-layer cushion court system ensures that players can enjoy the sport without the usual strain on knees and ankles.
The facility experience
Similar to entering a gym for the first time, the club recognizes that players may feel hesitant or unsure. To address this, drop-in play is carefully segregated by skill level – beginner, intermediate, and advanced – across multiple courts. This ensures that each player can enjoy the game at their own pace without feeling out of place.
As the largest indoor pickleball facility in the Northeast, Legacy Pickleball Club goes beyond offering top-notch courts. The club's architectural design incorporates a separate player’s lounge, providing a space where players can socialize and unwind after a thrilling game.
The high ceiling, reaching up to 38 feet, creates an airy atmosphere, enhancing the overall experience for players and spectators alike – and relieving any worry for lobbers.
The club's alliance with Saratoga Race Course NYRA further solidifies its status as a destination.
Hosting events and tournaments in conjunction with the renowned race course, Legacy Pickleball Club anticipates attracting top talent from across the United States and around the world. Saratoga, already celebrated for horse racing, is rapidly becoming a new hotspot for pickleball enthusiasts.
Special features
Legacy Pickleball Club has invested in cutting-edge technology to elevate the game. A sophisticated camera and computer system capture crucial metrics such as swing velocity, foot position, open/closed paddle face, and even offers slow-motion replay.
This comprehensive data not only aids players in refining their skills but also adds an element of excitement and analysis to the game.
Looking ahead, Legacy Pickleball Club is set to expand its footprint, with second, third, and fourth locations in the works in Massachusetts, Syracuse, and Utica.
Each new location will follow the flagship's blueprint, offering a blend of indoor and outdoor courts, a players lounge, BBQ pits, and the same commitment to excellence in pickleball.
In the spring, Legacy Pickleball Club will introduce 15-20 outdoor courts, complete with BBQ grills. This concept allows players to seamlessly transition from intense matches to a relaxed BBQ session with friends and family, creating a unique and vibrant community within the club.
Legacy has announced plans for a new club to be built in Utica, New York, while partnering with Human Technologies Inc. Stay tuned for additional updates.
As Legacy Pickleball Club paves the way for the future of pickleball in the Northeast, its commitment to excellence, inclusivity, and innovation ensures that every player, from beginners to seasoned pros, will find a community.
