MORE FUN. MORE OPPORTUNITY. MORE THAN PICKLEBALL.
Although Pickleball has been around since 1965, it has exploded in popularity in the last five years. After 24 years as a professor at the University of Tennessee, Jay Lee and his wife, June, took a leap of faith. Based on their love of the game, the couple launched More Than Pickleball in Buford, GA.
Featuring a 36,000 sq. ft climate-controlled facility equipped with nine cushioned pro pickleball courts, two mezzanines, and a single custom-sized practice court, More Than Pickleball offers a space for members to enjoy open play, leagues, lessons, and more.

But More Than Pickleball is more than just a place to play. With a craft beer bar, table tennis area, and scheduled events, it’s also a place where friendships blossom, laughter echoes, and sweat flows freely. It’s a vibrant gathering spot that builds better health and a stronger community. Capitalizing on the fact that pickleball is the fastest growing sport in America, More Than Pickleball is pleased to welcome new entrepreneurs to their brand through franchise offerings.

WE'LL HELP YOU STAY OUT OF THE KITCHEN.
