The Floridant/10284247

ORLANDO, Fla. - Floridant -- Before its newest location in Orlando opens its doors this fall, Crush Yard's team of pros crushed the competition, bringing home gold earlier this September at the 2024 JOOLA Pickleball Celebration tournament.

Just like pickleball itself, Crush Yard is sweeping the nation with its award-winning location in Charleston, SC, and three more coming soon to Huntsville, AL, Nashville, TN and Orlando, FL. The concept offers a way for both beginners and pros to escape the heat on its indoor courts and an award-winning "eatertainment" experience for guests of all ages, featuring a chef-driven, elevated American tavern menu, full cocktail bar and more to complement the gameplay.

The 48,000 square foot, 10-court Orlando location is expected to open this fall, and the company is already making a name for itself amongst Central Florida pickleball enthusiasts after a gold medal-winning performance at the JOOLA Pickleball Celebration, a national tournament that took place at the Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center earlier this month.
