Partnering with Business Owners to Elevate Pickleball Facilities
Pickleball has rapidly transformed from a niche pastime into one of North America’s most explosive sports trends. In Canada alone, participation has soared from 350,000 monthly players in 2020 to over 1.54 million in 2025 - a 440% increase in just four years. With such remarkable growth, the need for high-quality, professionally installed courts has never been greater.
At Total Sport Solutions (TSS), we don’t just install courts—we create best-in-class pickleball experiences designed to attract and retain players. As more entrepreneurs and franchise operators invest in dedicated pickleball venues, TSS stands at the forefront, offering expertise in premium court installation, tailored solutions, and an unwavering commitment to client success.
Setting the Standard in Pickleball Court Construction
TSS has become the trusted partner for leading pickleball franchise developers, athletic clubs, and independent investors. Our recent projects include:
- Smash Pickleball, London, Ontario – 9 courts
- Pickleplex, Barrie, Ontario – 7 courts
- Rally Pickleball, Mississauga, Ontario – 17 courts
- Mayfair Club - Lakeshore, Toronto, Ontario – 4 courts
These installations are more than just playing surfaces; they are investments in player experience and facility success. In fact, Toronto alone has seen a dramatic increase in demand, growing from just one outdoor pickleball court to 165 in five years. As this demand continues to rise, TSS remains committed to delivering top-tier courts catering to recreational and competitive players.
Advocacy Over Profit: Putting Clients First
Unlike many providers focused solely on sales, TSS operates with a clear mission—advocating for our clients' best interests over short-term profits. Our President and CEO, Ian Lintott, says, "We are not here to sell what is best for us. We are here to advocate for the client, ensuring they get what they need for long-term success."
This philosophy means every TSS court installation is meticulously planned to optimize player experience, durability, and return on investment. We educate our clients on surface quality, lighting, and layout considerations to help them make informed decisions that enhance their facility’s reputation and profitability.
The Impact of Dedicated Pickleball Facilities
Beyond the game itself, dedicated pickleball facilities serve as vibrant community hubs. These spaces bring people together, fostering social interaction, fitness, and competition. The sport is no longer just for retirees; the 18-34 age demographic is now the fastest-growing player segment in Canada. With this expansion, facilities must be designed to cater to all skill levels, from casual enthusiasts to tournament-level athletes.
By investing in premium court installations, facility owners can ensure they provide an unmatched playing experience—one that keeps players coming back and builds a loyal community.
Looking Ahead: The Future of Pickleball Development
The growth trajectory of pickleball shows no signs of slowing down. Pickleball Canada’s membership skyrocketed from 31,312 in mid-2022 to over 85,000 by the end of 2024, highlighting the sport’s sustained momentum. As franchises, athletic clubs, and independent investors capitalize on this movement, the importance of high-quality, professional-grade courts cannot be overstated.
At TSS, we continue to innovate and refine our approach, ensuring that every facility we work with is designed for long-term success. Whether you are launching a new pickleball franchise or upgrading an existing facility, we are here to help you navigate the process with expert guidance and unparalleled installation quality.
