Pickleball Expands in Hagerstown

Pickleball remains the fastest-growing sport in America, and the opening of a new indoor, multi-court facility on Sweeney Drive will make access to the sport much easier here in Hagerstown. 

Dill Dinkers, a rapidly growing indoor pickleball club franchise, opened in December offering a fun, friendly, and welcoming environment where players of all skill levels can play, socialize, and take part in the game recreationally or competitively. The club adds courts to the limited number of indoor places to play in Hagerstown, which until now included only the YMCA and the new Hagerstown Field House. 

The new club fulfills a growing demand for dedicated indoor pickleball in Washington County and Western Maryland. The facility has eight indoor and four outdoor courts with fences, a ball machine, a pro shop powered by Pickleball Central, and a state-of-the-art online reservation system to help players avoid long lines and wait times. 

Memberships are available but are not required to play at the facility. Members pay less for court time than the general public. Dill Dinkers’ expansive schedule makes it possible to play with other players on the same level in daily schedules catered to DUPR or self-rated players.  

Rooted in their deep love for pickleball and the welcoming community surrounding it, local owners Elly and the McCarthy family chose Hagerstown for its vibrant, fast-growing sports culture and strong appetite for year-round recreation. 

“Hagerstown has an energy and togetherness that makes it the perfect home for a Dill Dinkers club,” says Elly McCarthy. Dill Dinkers brings climate-controlled courts, leagues, clinics, and community-driven programming to players of all ages and experience levels. 

Dill Dinkers also has dedicated event space, providing the opportunity for individuals to host parties, celebrations, or corporate bonding events.
