  • THE MARKET

    Pickleball, the hybrid of tennis, badminton, and table tennis, has captured the hearts of millions and its growth shows no signs of slowing down. Pickleball’s total addressable market is MASSIVE and the rapid growth can be attributed to its accessibility, affordability, social nature, health benefits, increasing media coverage, celebrity hype, and its continued dominance as a credible and sustantiatied world sport.

  • THE OPPORTUNITY

    The U.S. Pickleball market, the fastest-growing sport in the country, is facing a tipping point. One where the number of courts cannot support the exponential growth of players. The current way isn’t sustainable for Pickleball to thrive.

     

    There also exists a scarcity of quality indoor facilities that offer optimal and consistent playing conditions that aren’t victim to the game’s common and regular enemies… wind, rain, cold, heat, and insects.

     

    Together, these factors create a favorable market opportunity. One which we, alongside our franchise partner, THE PICKLR, are poised to capitalize on, with our proven business model of delivering best-in-class indoor Pickleball experiences with a rapid speed-to-market advantage… effectively maintaining our current leadership in the space.

  • OUR GOAL

    To become the "Apple" of indoor Pickleball... A company that has no real equal, offering an unrivaled players-first experience that's not easily matched or duplicated, yet it's easily scaled and defended. We won't just set the bar in our space, we'll be the bar.

     

    To provide our investors with the greatest opportunity to capitalize on a massive market need with a far-superior, best-in-class provider and product.

     

    With your investment in WAYMOR SPORTS, we'll work with our franchisor to strategically maximize resources and efforts to yield tangible value and sustainable growth, ultimately delivering a positive return on investment that exceeds your expectations and our own, while fueling our continued dominance in the space.
