We’ve all been there: the “team-building” afternoon that feels more like a chore than a celebration. Maybe it’s a cramped conference room with a lukewarm tray of sandwiches, or a quiet bowling alley where half the team is checking their watches by 3:00 PM.

At Wolverine Pickleball, we decided to do things differently. We built an “adult playground” right here in Ann Arbor—a 78,000-square-foot campus designed for one thing: connection. Whether your team is full of high-energy competitors or folks who just want to chill with a craft beer and a good conversation, we’ve got a spot for you.

The Great Equalizer: Pickleball for All

You don’t need to be an athlete to love pickleball. That’s the beauty of it. It’s easy to learn, hard to master, and always results in a lot of laughing and maybe a little friendly trash-talking.

Our turnkey event service means we handle the heavy lifting. Every outing includes:

Professional Instruction: Our coaches lead “Learn to Play” sessions so everyone feels confident before the first serve.

All Equipment Provided: We’ve got the paddles and the balls; you just bring the sneakers.

Organized Play: We can set up a “King of the Court” tournament or a casual mixer where partners rotate every game, ensuring everyone gets to meet someone new.

Not a “Pickleball Person”? No Problem.

We know that not everyone wants to be on the court for two hours straight. That’s why we’ve curated a space that offers something for every speed and interest.

If you want to:	You can head to:
Stay active but skip the court	Our 6 sand courts for beach tennis or volleyball.
Keep it low-key and social	The bocce lanes or cornhole area.
Relax and chat	Our outdoor fire pits and lounge seating. Indoor fireplaces and cozy seating.
Exercise your brain	The indoor lounge for puzzle competitions, mahjong, board games or euchre.

Fueling the Fun

A great outing needs great refreshments. Our self-serve tap wall features 30 taps of beer, wine, hard cider, and craft cocktails. Guests can pay per ounce, or you can simplify things with two-drink wristbands or a single corporate tab.

Need food? Our courtside eatery can curate a menu tailored to your group’s dietary needs.

Turnkey Planning (So You Can Have Fun, Too)

We’ve hosted everyone from the University of Michigan sports teams, Michigan Medicine departments and University of Michigan departments to small businesses and corporate tech teams.

We know you’re busy, so we make the planning seamless. From AV-equipped private conference rooms for your morning meeting to high-energy court time in the afternoon, we tailor every detail to your goals.
