It has been an amazing adventure so far to get a facility built for SCORE Academy. We are working with great players on the Tennis and Pickleball sides of the house, with the goal to expand our offerings on a 108-acre farm just off Anderson and Russell Rd in Ottawa.
We are working with great partners and potential partners (a very large academy out of France is looking at an interesting partnership with us). We have also put together a great team to handle all aspects of this project. We have our real estate and business coaching team, a great design team( who will have something today for us to see), an accounting/ financial, and of course great corporate legal council, to get this done.
Phase 1 is scheduled for June 1 2023 and Phase 1.5 is scheduled for Nov 1, 2023. However, like everything nowadays we will expect some delays, especially with the building of the indoor structures.
Phase 1
- 6 red-clay outdoor Tennis courts
- 20 outdoor Pickleball courts
- Games area – Pingpong, pool tables, corn hole, etc…
- Beach Tennis, Beach Volleyball
- Camp area (summer camp)
- Community Gardens with Bunkies
- Snack bar
- Retail store
Phase 1.5
- 6 indoor hard courts
- 20 indoor pickleball
- Gym area
- Physio area
We have already hit 10% of our funding needs since starting just this past Saturday and we believe with the projections and forecasts we will hopefully be done with the friends and family round early to mid next month and the latest would be the end of January.
From a sponsorship side, we already have a few but a big shoutout to Selkirk on the Pickleball side, they really stepped up to the plate and put a good package together for us.
Keep checking back here as we will provide updates here each week.
