New Pickleball Club To Open In Simsbury Sept. 6: UPDATE

SIMSBURY, CT — The necessary municipal approvals have been granted, the work is nearly complete, and, now, it is nearly time to play the fastest-growing paddle/ball sport in the U.S.

Dill Dinkers, a leader in dedicated indoor pickleball clubs, is opening its newest location in Simsbury on Friday, Sept. 6, the company announced Thursday, a change from the original opening date, which was slated to be Sunday.

"Dill Dinkers is not just about playing pickleball. It’s about building connections within the community, and this new location is set to become a hub for social interaction, fitness, and events," wrote the company in an announcement.

Dill Dinkers, is a fledgling indoor pickleball club chain and Simsbury's club is the first of 10 clubs coming to the state.

The nearly 24,000-square-foot space will be at 500 Bushy Hill Road, which is home to a large shopping plaza in town.

Pickleball is a popular racquet sport similar to tennis and is played on a smaller court that looks like a tennis court.

It utilizes a plastic ball and paddles instead of racquets and tennis balls.

Dill Dinkers will have seven indoor courts with fences, an event space, a ball machine, a pro shop, and a state-of-the-art reservation system.

The Pickleball Brothers LLC, which includes Simsbury native Max Johnson, Dr. Wayne Johnson, Scott Johnson, and Zach Larichiuta, is behind the development of the Simsbury club.
