PickleRage, a new 42,000-square-foot indoor pickleball facility opening in the heart of downtown New Rochelle, debuted with a VIP preview event on March 25 and a special weekend promotion on March 28 and 29 where people could try playing pickleball for free. Nearly 1,000 people turned out for the weekend promotion.
Located at 173 Huguenot Street, PickleRage New Rochelle is owned and operated by Brian Snyder and Henry Sztul. It is in a building developed by the Cappelli Organization. This is the first PickleRage facility in Westchester County and the first in New York State.
PickleRage features 13 regulation-size courts with CushionX surfaces, LED lighting, locker rooms with showers, and video recording and livestreaming capabilities. Additional amenities include a player’s lounge, and a pro shop with retail displays, a gear fitting area, and demo equipment. The courts feature bright overhead lighting, high-performance non-skid surfaces, and optimized temperature and humidity controls for ideal playing conditions. In addition to pickleball, the facility also offers three Full Swing golf simulators, the same used by TGL as seen on ESPN.
“There were several pickleball companies that were interested in occupying this space. After meeting with several different operators, we chose PickleRage because of their expertise and local market knowledge and presence. They are fantastic and we’re very excited to have them here,” said Bruce Berg, CEO of Cappelli Development.
“We’re thrilled to be a part of New Rochelle’s continued downtown growth and bring our passion for pickleball to Westchester,” said Sztul. “Pickleball provides a really great way to stay active and meet people.”
The facility offers a variety of promotional membership packages in connection with the opening ranging from $79 for a pro monthly membership to $3,880 for an annual elite family membership. For more information about membership visit https://pickleragenewrochelle.com
