Driving Innovation in Pickleball Noise Mitigation

Last week, SLNCR had the privilege of attending the Club Management Association of America (CMAA) World Conference 2025—a premier gathering of club managers, industry leaders, and innovators shaping the future of private clubs and recreational facilities. The energy in Tampa was electric, with professionals from across the country sharing insights on everything from member experience and sustainability to, of course, the ongoing challenge of pickleball noise management.

A Growing Concern: Pickleball and Noise Complaints

As pickleball continues its meteoric rise, club managers face increasing pressure to balance the needs of players with those of nearby residents. Noise complaints aren’t just an inconvenience—they can lead to lawsuits, strained community relations, and even court closures. Conversations at CMAA made one thing clear: club leaders are searching for effective, science-backed noise mitigation solutions that preserve the game while protecting their communities.
