WOODBRIDGE TOWNSHIP, N.J., Oct. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Pickleball Kingdom, the world’s leading indoor pickleball franchise, announces its newest club at 465 Green Street in Woodbridge, New Jersey. The Woodbridge club will be the fifth Pickleball Kingdom location to open in New Jersey, joining locations in Hamilton, Tinton Falls, Watchung, and Hillsborough.
Owned by Vidya Rentachintala and Ramya Pasupaleti, the 42,508-square-foot facility will feature 14 professional-grade indoor pickleball courts, a half court, two warm-up walls, and two large party rooms. Players will enjoy climate-controlled courts for year-round play, on-court instant replay technology, digital scoreboards, leagues, clinics, youth programming, and community events. The club is expected to open in early 2027.
“New Jersey continues to be an important part of Pickleball Kingdom’s growth,” said Ace Rodrigues, Founder and CEO of Pickleball Kingdom. “This Woodbridge Club will be special for several reasons but one of them is that it has a strong female leadership team. Women make up about 50% of pickleball players so we’re proud to have these particular women lead that charge for us.”
Located within Woodbridge Crossing, the club will occupy a prominent space on the lower level of the shopping center, offering convenient access and strong visibility near Woodbridge Center Mall.
As two passionate women entrepreneurs, Vidya and Ramya are bringing their shared love of pickleball and community to life through Pickleball Kingdom Woodbridge. Their vision is to create a welcoming place where people can connect, play, compete, and thrive. Both bring extensive backgrounds in technology, business leadership, and entrepreneurship, along with a shared commitment to health, connection, and creating meaningful experiences for the local community.
“Our vision for Pickleball Kingdom Woodbridge is to create a place where people feel connected from the moment they walk through the doors,” said Vidya and Ramya. “We want to build a community around the sport where people of all ages and skill levels can play, compete, grow, and build relationships. Creating Community is at the heart of Pickleball Kingdom, and we are excited to bring that experience to Woodbridge and create a place people are proud to call their Kingdom.”
Joining Vidya and Ramya in the management of the club will be Vicky and Purna, who bring additional experience across technology, analytics, AI, business development, and IT sales and services. Together, the four bring decades of professional and entrepreneurial experience, along with a shared passion for fitness, competitive sports, and community building.
The team’s vision extends beyond opening a premier indoor pickleball facility. They plan to create opportunities for new players to discover the sport, provide programming that supports continued player development, and establish Woodbridge as a destination for competitive play and future tournaments.
