ClearOne Sports Centre - Orlando, Florida

L R

Happened upon this place by accident.
They have 4 indoor badminton courts and about 8 indoor pickleball courts. They have paddles and balls for sale. Drop in to play prices vary from $8-$12 depending weeknight vs weekend, but you will end up playing on rotation with other pickleball players which isn't too bad as long as you know the basics. It's great if you come alone as you will always have others to play against. You can also reserve courts for private use - call them for pricing. Attendant was friendly and informative.

I recently attended the Pickleball 101 class at ClearOne Sports Center and I couldn’t be more pleased with my experience. As someone new to the sport, this class was the perfect introduction. The session lasted 1.5 hours, which was just the right amount of time to get acquainted with the basics without feeling overwhelmed.

The class size was small, allowing for personalized attention from the instructors, who were not only knowledgeable but also incredibly patient and encouraging. They made sure everyone understood the rules and techniques before we moved on to practice games.

What stood out to me was the friendly and welcoming atmosphere. It was a great opportunity to meet other beginners, and by the end of the class, we were all having a great time learning and playing together.

I’m already looking forward to taking my skills to the next level in their Pickleball 102 class. If you’re curious about pickleball and looking for a place to start, I highly recommend ClearOne Sports Center’s Pickleball 101 class. It’s an excellent blend of learning, exercise, and fun!

I recently hosted a corporate meeting in Orlando and we utilized ClearOne Sports for a pickleball excursion for some of our attendees. I can't say enough good things! They were extremely responsive, helpful and professional in planning a small group outing. If you are looking for a location to host a group outing in Orlando, they will take care of you.

To start, the venue and pickleball courts here are nice and well kept. After that, there is not much good I can say about my first experience here. After an hour drive to play with a friend here, we were utterly disappointed with the atmosphere and people. The sign in process was easy, but the desk attendent only briefly explained the rules of the courts to my friend as we entered, knowing it was both of our first times there. We have played pickleball at several other courts and are familiar with the paddle system. However, at this place, it seemed that nobody actually listened to the rules and respected the system. Teams just stayed or rotated within their own group of people. We were told at sign-in which courts were reserved for private use, but this occurred on courts supposedly available for open play. We came to play doubles with other people during their Saturday music night, but we found ourselves often waiting for other people. I understand the venue can't control the type of people that play, but for reference, the players were generally not friendly and it was a very competitive environment even though the event was listed as "all skill levels". We found ourselves with one other person (who eventually left), often waiting on a fourth person to play with, even when there were several people sitting and waiting. This was not a good event or venue to meet new players or play with different skill levels. Not to be picky about the music, but the 80s playlist (which is probably the same one Publix plays) was not the kind of music we expected for a sports complex.

Also, when we did play a game, we found the courts felt too close together, and teams were calling "ball" almost every other volley. The court side next to the wall also felt crammed. Especially when people were sitting or walking behind you and you had to return a deep hit or serve, you were not left with enough room to move back. Overall, it was not worth the $12 we each paid to play as we have had significantly better experiences at free or lower cost pickleball courts. While there are a lot of good reviews to the contrary, this was our experience, and we don't plan on coming back anytime soon.

Nice place . . I went during the 4.5+ time block with a buddy of mine and they allowed us to play. We were coming from out of town and they were more than accommodating. Thx team. Sales shop needs some more equipment and goods, but overall a good facility.

UPDATE (MLK WKEND 2024)

I played here for MIXED OPEN PLAY today and this place MEETS ALL EXPECTATIONS! My GF’s first time at a INDOOR facility WITH OUTDOOR court surface and she was impressed to say the least. The OPEN PLAY community is VERY welcoming (TY Ms. Wanda V.). Whenever we are in town we will definitely make a stop here . . TY Mr. John for making this space accommodating for us traveling Pickleballers. ?

Great place and people - they really help you improve your pickleball game and have their classes dialed in.

Played for 3 hours and met John the owner. He was very professional and answered all of my questions. Their paddle system was handled by staff and ran smooth. Staff went above and beyond, ample parking and recommend this place highly.

I paid 10 drop in to get 1 for free long time ago.
Recently, we went back to play badminton again and the staff told me that I didn’t purchase anything.
Wow! Great job! This is how you treat the customer.
I still see my profile in the system but not the purchase history.
BE AWARE! Guy! Don’t pay anything in advance.
They could delete your purchase and take your money.
