The Court House Pickleball and Social Facility by Peri Hayes

Jamee Shaw embarked on a fulfilling venture alongside partner, Dani Tangredi. On January 18th of this year, the co-owners launched The Court House Pickleball and Social Facility. They were inspired by the connective spirit of pickleball, having joined Jamee’s mother to play and also experiencing the challenge of sourcing indoor courts. “This has been a year in the making,” Jamee proudly details. The first business to operate in 115 Dennis Road, Unit 1, this dedicated pickleball facility is accessible year-long -- with six spectacular, professional-grade indoor courts designed for all skill levels. Jamee beams with joy, sharing, “I am excited that The Court House is accessible for everyone from youth to 80 years of age and above, as well as the social aspect of this space. We are so excited to bring this new recreational space to St. Thomas! There is nothing else like this in the area.” Along with their merchandise which is for sale, The Court House Pickleball serves complimentary popcorn to guests. Jamee describes, “We’ve created a vibrant space that includes a bar and lounge area where players and spectators can relax and connect with others. Our facility is not just about the game; it’s about building a strong community where people can gather, socialize and share their passion for this exciting sport.” Encouragingly, Jamee assures those curious about their service: “Pickleball is a sport that’s truly for everyone. It’s an activity that promotes physical health through movement

and exercise while also supporting mental health by offering a fun and engaging way to unwind.” “We’re also planning to host tournaments, clinics and social events to enhance the experience for our players,” Jamee reveals. “In addition, we’ll be offering opportunities for school trips, both elementary and high school, as well as youth camps during March Break and the summer. These programs aim to introduce younger generations to the sport, promote active lifestyles and create a fun and educational experience.” Furthermore, Jamee and Dani welcome bookings for corporate events and fundraisers. Through their Monthly Clinic, four-week program on Wed- nesday evenings and more, The Court House facilitates
