Pickleball Chain Opens 1st MD Location With 10 Indoor Courts In Anne Arundel County

GLEN BURNIE, MD — The booming sport of pickleball is expanding even further in Anne Arundel County.

PickleRage just opened its first Maryland facility, welcoming beginners and professionals alike. The 10 indoor courts are located in Glen Burnie at 851 Cromwell Park Drive.

“Maryland is an exciting new market for PickleRage, with a rapidly growing pickleball community and a strong demand for state-of-the-art facilities,” PickleRage Chief Operating Officer David Smith told Patch in a Thursday statement. “Opening our first location here aligns perfectly with our mission to bring world-class pickleball experiences to communities that are passionate about the sport.”

This is PickleRage's fourth location, with courts also open in Alabama, Florida and Michigan. Two forthcoming sites in Michigan and one in North Carolina will bring PickleRage to seven facilities nationwide.

On Jan. 17 at 10 a.m., the Glen Burnie center will cut the ribbon on its 26,550-square-foot space in the Cromwell Business Park. That's situated between Interstate 97 and Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport.

“Glen Burnie is a thriving community with a vibrant and growing interest in pickleball,” Smith said. “Its central location between Baltimore and Washington, DC, makes it an ideal spot to connect players from across the region and create a dynamic hub for pickleball enthusiasts.”

The facility's premium CushionX playing surface is designed for joint-friendly play.

Courts are also equipped with advanced video recording and live streaming capabilities. The Save My Play recording feature, an Artificial Intelligence-powered sports camera system, lets players capture and review their gameplay effortlessly.

Playing indoors allows for optimal sightlines and year-round, temperature-controlled matches.

There are also modern lounges for socializing and a fully stocked pro shop with the latest pickleball gear and accessories.

Courts are available for reservations and walk-ins for members and non-members.

PickleRage will offer a range of events for players of all ages and skill levels.

There will be six-, eight- and 10-week leagues. Social leagues are also available for more relaxed and friendly competition.

Clinics will be offered for junior, beginner, intermediate and advanced players. Private lessons are another option.

Planned tournaments include Cupid's Cup 2025, a Valentine's-themed event scheduled for Feb. 14 to 16, featuring singles, doubles and mixed doubles events.

There's also the PickleRage Invitational, an invitational tournament set for May 17 and 18, bringing together top talent for competitive play.

Monthly competitive matches will contribute to players' Dynamic Universal Pickleball Rating (DUPR), aiding in skill assessment and development.
