We Are Open!

We are thrilled to open Pickleball 603 on January 6, 2024.

Our 6 indoor courts and locker rooms  are open. Our exceptional court surface is very forgiving on the body, our large windows make you feel like you’re outdoors, even when they’re down.

We continue moving along with construction on our reception area and JTAPS restaurant which we anticipate will be completed in the next few months.

We appreciate everyone’s support and watching everyone playing on our courts.

Hi all, so it’s been a while since my last post but hopefully you understand, every waking minute is spent working to get the doors of Pickleball 603 open! We have overcome many obstacles along the way that have us behind schedule but all I can say to that is, it will be well worth the wait. I will refrain from any absolutes regarding an opening date at this point as the final stage of finish work wraps up and we look forward to final inspections.

To give you a clearer idea of how close:

  • Painting is wrapped up
  • Blinds have been installed in all 34 windows
  • Suspended ceilings and lighting is being hung in the locker rooms, kitchen and hallways
  • Courts 1, 2, 5 & 6 are completed
  • Court 3 construction has resumed and should be completed this week
  • Locker room & Kitchen epoxy floors were poured over the weekend
  • Lockers & Bathroom fixtures will be installed this week (showers are already installed)
  • Parking lot is paved and lined with close to 300 spots in the plaza!
  • Lots of final stage projects getting finished including our custom built front desk and retail case, restaurant bar-top, back-bar, drink-rail.

We are lucky to add Deb DiPietro to our team as our Activities Director. Deb comes with a wealth of experience in managing complex pickleball court schedules and she has taken the mock schedule that my son Bennett and I composed, along with member feedback and she has created a solid, diverse schedule that we will open with! The schedule is attached to this email with tons of great programs for all levels! We foresee the schedule growing and morphing based on attendance and member demand, only time will tell and we look forward to your feedback as we progress!

We have been testing out the Acrytech Cushion X Courts with family and friends, the courts are as advertised, the ball plays consistently and the ease on the joints is undeniable! Can’t wait for you all to try them! Thanks to NE Courts for installing the best pickleball courts available!

The next email will be the announcement of our soft-opening date, stay tuned!

— Ted, Paul and Team!

New Acrytech CX Court System

We are excited to announce that we have made another major investment to Pickleball 603 by purchasing the new Arcytech CX cushioned court for all 12 of our Pickleball courts! Play longer and stronger on the new Acrytech CX court system!

From the moment we began conceptualizing Pickleball 603, the plan was to to build the finest pickleball facility, not only in New England, but potentially in the entire country. My years of playing this great game educated me on what the Pickelball community needed, and made me hyper-aware of the issues associated with playing at the various venues and rec courts that were available at that time, i.e. balls from other courts rolling onto your court, other players navigating their way across your court to get to their court, and ensuring leveled play just to name a few.

While perusing the internet in early 2023, I stumbled across an interview with Dave Fleming, the announcer for many of the PPA events, along with the President of the PPA and the President of Acrytech courts. Just before they ended the interview, Dave Fleming snuck in a blurb regarding Arcytech’s new creation, a cushioned pickleball-specific court that while protecting our bodies, maintains a bounce of the pickleball that is consistent with that of a hard court!

Weeks later, I had the opportunity to play on one of those very courts with three of my good friends that are 4.0+ players and yes, the bounce was exactly that, very consistent and predictable as a quality hard court surface. Once we were finished, the three of us chatted about how our bodies felt and we all agreed that the court had been kind to our joints right through the next day and days that followed, our recovery was much better than after playing on a traditional hard court surface.

Although triple the cost of a conventional court, Paul and I are happy to announce that we have made another major investment to Pickleball 603 by purchasing the new Arcytech CX cushioned court for all 12 of our pickleball courts! We are so excited that we can offer a court system that will play consistent while protecting the bodies of our members, limiting recovery time enabling you to play more often! For those that have already joined, I hope this is more affirmation that you have joined a premier facility, and for those that are considering joining, understand we are doing our very best to leave no stone un-turned to bring you the very best pickleball facility possible!

See you on the courts!
