MIAMI — Along with the rest of the country, pickleball is all the rage in Huntsville so it’s fitting that a franchise reflecting that feeling is expanding into the Rocket City.

PickleRage, an indoor pickleball club franchise, announced Huntsville is among six newly signed franchise agreements, fueling the brand’s rapid national expansion and mission to deliver premium indoor pickleball experiences to communities nationwide.

Mobile has the state’s first PickleRage club; Huntsville would be its second.

“We’re thrilled to welcome six new franchise partners to the PickleRage family,” said David Smith, COO at PickleRage. “These new partnerships mark another exciting step forward as we expand into Arizona and Illinois for the first time, while also strengthening our presence in key markets across the country.

“Together, we’re building a national network of vibrant clubs that make indoor pickleball accessible to everyone.”

Each club will be locally owned and operated by franchisees with strong community ties and a passion for the sport, creating welcoming spaces where players of all levels can connect and compete.

Along with Huntsville, franchises will be opening in Phoenix; south Florida; western Cook County, Ill.; Dublin, Ohio; and York County, S.C.

With pickleball’s explosive growth as America’s fastest-growing sport, PickleRage has emerged as a force in providing top-tier venues for play. With state-of-the-art facilities, organized leagues, and a focus on inclusivity, PickleRage is helping shape the future of the sport.
