The Valley just got another serious place to play. Center Court Pickleball Club opened its newest location, Center Court Scottsdale Shea, with a grand celebration on September 23, 2026. It is the locally owned club's fourth indoor facility in the Phoenix metro area, and a big crowd came out to see it.
Grand opening day
The Scottsdale Chamber of Commerce led the ribbon cutting, and then the courts opened up. The free event featured open play, food and drinks, vendor showcases, on-court competitions, and raffle prizes that included Center Court memberships, clinics, and Play With a Pro sessions. Players and curious newcomers got to hit with coaches and meet the people they will likely be dinking with all winter.
What is inside
The new club sits in a shopping center near Loop 101 and Shea Blvd, at 10220 N. 90th St. in Scottsdale. Some highlights:
- 13 tournament-sized indoor courts across a 35,000-square-foot facility
- Upward-facing lighting to cut glare on high lobs, plus acoustics tuned so the whole building is not one big echo
- Locker rooms, warm-up and recovery equipment including Power Plates, and wellness amenities
- A member lounge with free coffee drinks
- Space for events, from team training sessions to corporate team-building days
Shea also serves as the company's headquarters and training center.
Built on three clubs' worth of feedback
"Scottsdale is home for Center Court, so opening our club here at Shea and the Loop 101, and our fourth in the Valley, was very important and personal to our team. We did not simply want to build more courts. Our goal was to take everything our members and team had taught us from our first three clubs and build an even better experience. Shea is the result of that."
Tim Keightley, CEO of Center Court Pickleball Club
