Elliot Marcille

Owner

The business was founded by Elliot Marcille, a Bozeman local and 2013 Montana State graduate with a tennis background who discovered pickleball’s fast-paced fun. Elliot saw the need for a dedicated and safe indoor space as outdoor courts became crowded and limited by Montana’s long winters and pickleball players competed with basketball players for limited court times at local schools and gyms. In 2024, with his savings, advice from lots of other club owners, and and a lot of elbow grease, he converted a former wine-storage warehouse on Bozeman's NE side into a vibrant pickleball community hub, the first of its kind in Bozeman. Elliot is married to another badass entreprenuer in town and together they are lucky to be raising twins in a ski town.

We offer four indoor courts with a professional concrete and textured acrylic pickleball surface, permanent nets, and bright indirect lighting for excellent play anytime.
