Asia Better Pay Attention as USA Pickleball Chooses PICKLETILE™ as Preferred Court Builder, Official Noise Reduction Partner
USA Pickleball, the National Governing Body for the sport of pickleball in the United States, today announced a partnership with PICKLETILE™, naming the company the Preferred Court Builder and Official Noise Reduction Partner of USA Pickleball.
Through this partnership, PICKLETILE™ will serve as a primary resource for individuals, cities, and facilities nationwide seeking to build pickleball courts. USA Pickleball, which has historically provided expertise on how to build and certify courts, will now collaborate directly with PICKLETILE™ to help communities bring projects to life from start to finish.
PICKLETILE’s innovative PICKLEGLASS™ acoustic glass enclosure, known for its patent-pending design, integrated technologies, and unmatched noise reduction, sets a new industry standard for performance, aesthetics, and durability. With these advanced features, PICKLETILE™ is uniquely positioned to help elevate the pickleball experience across the country.
“This is an incredibly exciting partnership for USA Pickleball,” said Mike Nealy, CEO of USA Pickleball. “With PICKLETILE’s support, we can go beyond advising on how to build courts and truly walk alongside communities through the entire process. That’s a big win for the future of our sport, and for the players who are fuelling its rapid growth.”
In addition to supporting court-building initiatives, PICKLETILE™ will contribute to USA Pickleball Serves’ Grow the Game Programme, assisting grant recipients by providing expertise to navigate the full court-building process, from planning through installation.
“This new partnership with USA Pickleball marks a defining moment in our journey,” said Scott Miller, CEO and Founder of PICKLETILE™. “We created this company to transform how courts are built, how communities experience the game, and how sound, space, and design come together. Together with USA Pickleball, we’re ushering in a new standard—building courts with certified precision so each one plays quieter, integrates smarter, and delivers a visibly elevated, premium experience.”
PICKLETILE™ will also have a strong presence at the 2025 USA Pickleball National Championships in San Diego. As part of this collaboration, PICKLETILE’s newly launched INFINITYFLEX™ premium modular court dividers will be featured on select courts, showcasing its cutting-edge design on the sport’s biggest stage.
What the PICKLETILE and USAP Tie Up Means for Pickleball in Asia
On the surface, the USAP-PICKLETILE partnership doesn’t directly affect the Asian pickleball landscape. After all, the courts that will be built are halfway across the world from Asia. Digging deeper, though, it can be argued that Asia’s pickleball stakeholders, particularly those willing to invest in building pickleball facilities, could theoertically learn something from this collaboration.
Pickleball, of course, is taking off in Asia but this rapid growth is also facing challenges such as limited infrastructure and noise-related concerns in densely populated areas. PICKLETILE’s expertise in court construction and its innovative noise-reduction technology could provide Asian cities with a scalable, sustainable model for developing world-class pickleball facilities, especially in urban environments where space and sound management are critical.
In addition, by setting a new global benchmark for court design, this collaboration may encourage Asian sports authorities and private developers to adopt similar standards, accelerating the region’s ability to host international tournaments, expand grassroots participation, and solidify pickleball’s position as one of Asia’s fastest-growing sports.
Granted, that’s looking too far into the future already. But with the continuing growth of pickleball in Asia, the best time for the sport’s stakeholders to plan for what lies ahead is NOW. To this end, they can certainly learn a thing or two on how the experts—PICKLETILE and USAP—do things.
