Local Indoor Pickleball Facility Teams Up with Vestavia Hills Soccer Club

Vestavia Hills Soccer Club is excited to announce our newest partnership - this one with the PICKLR - Vestavia Hills new indoor pickleball facility. Located in the old Sprout’s location on Hwy 31 across from city hall, the facility boasts 10 indoor courts and has a variety of daily programming.


Executive Director Rocky Harmon, who plays regularly, says “this is a great off- field activity for all of our players…and their parents as well. There is a reason it is the fastest growing sport in the country, and its low barrier to entry makes it fun for the whole family. Even the most hard-core soccer player needs other recreational outlets to keep the game fresh. Pickleball at the PICKLR can provide that….in a climate controlled environment all summer long.”


Says Club Coordinator Ross English “We are looking forward to building our youth program, and the benefits of improved footwork and agility will serve these soccer players well when they are back on the field.”


Currently, the PICKLR is offering unlimited, junior, and family memberships. They are also offering a 30 days for $30 special. All current VHSC registered players and family members will receive a 15% discount on your first month of registration. For more information, go to thepicklr.com. They are even offering a free month’s membership to anyone that can beat Coach Rocky!


To receive your discount, or schedule your challenge match with Coach Rocky, contact Ross at rossgenglish@gmailcom.


Vestavia Hills Soccer Club would like to thank the PICKLR for joining our soccer family!
