Dropshot is More Than Just a Place to Play!

We designed Dropshot to be a pickleball destination. Living in the Twin Cities, we are acutely aware of the short pickleball season, and we wanted a place where everyone was welcome to play no matter the weather.

Dropshot is a 28,000+ square foot facility featuring 8 courts, a warm-up/instructor court, social/party space, pro shop with everything you need to play for sale and rent, a snack bar to keep you fueled between games, and much more!

We want this to be a place you feel proud to call your pickleball home, and we look forward to sharing it with you. We hope to see you soon!
