In this episode, we visit the brand-new Pickleball Kingdom in Charleston, SC with GM Dan Watters and local player Judd Perry. From 24,000 sq ft of court space to simulators, replay tech, and DUPR-integrated scoring, this isn’t your average pickleball club—it’s the future of the sport.
We dive into:
- What makes Pickleball Kingdom different
- How tech is changing how we play, train, and teach
- The biggest beginner pain points (like SCORING!)—and how they solve them
- Why this setup is a coach’s dream
This episode is all about community, fun, and the next wave of pickleball innovation.
