LOUDOUN COUNTY, Va. (DC News Now) — An indoor pickleball facility will be opening in Loudoun County in January.

The United States Tennis Association (USTA) Mid-Atlantic Foundation said in a press release that Village Pickle will be opening its doors in the Village at Leesburg starting in early January.

The facility will have four indoor courts at launch and expand to eight courts in July.

Village Pickle will be open to a limited number of members “to heighten the members’ playing experience and increase court access,” according to the release.

“With over 100 years of experience bringing tennis to the region, USTA Mid-Atlantic is ideally positioned to bring the same expertise and excitement to pickleball,” said Tara Fitzpatrick-Navarro, CEO of the USTA Mid-Atlantic Foundation.

“The benefits of both tennis and pickleball are significant, and we believe they can coexist symbiotically. As there is a shortage of both pickleball and tennis courts in our region, we would like to preserve tennis courts and also create completely different, high-level experiences for pickleball.”
