August 2025 – First Update: Why We're Building The Secret Pickle
If you’re a pickleball player in the Birmingham area, you already know the struggle.
Want to play at your local park? You better hope the weather holds up and the courts aren’t full — or worse, dominated by that one group that’s been there since 7 a.m.
Thinking about joining a fitness club? Sure, they say they offer pickleball. But how much of your monthly fee is going toward the stuff you don’t need? Treadmills, saunas, towel service — when all you really want is a reliable place to play.
Looking for a dedicated indoor court? Good luck finding one that doesn’t require planning your week around drop-in hours, social groups, or awkward doubles matchups with strangers.
Sound familiar?
That’s exactly why we created The Secret Pickle — a no-frills, members-only indoor pickleball court designed for people who just want to play.
- No classes.
- No leagues.
- No waiting around.
You get access from 5 a.m. to midnight every day of the year. Reserve the court through your phone, unlock the door with the app, and play on your own time. Rain or shine. Partner or solo. Zero distractions.
- We’re not here to sell you spin classes.
- We’re not trying to build a pickleball-themed social club.
- We’re just giving you access to the game you love, with none of the nonsense.
So ask yourself:
- Tired of battling crowds at the public courts?
- Want to play without planning your day around other people’s schedules?
- Don’t want to pay for amenities you’ll never use?
Then you already know why The Secret Pickle is here.
