Who We Are
Our Story
PB(973) is a pickleball club built for players who value the game and competition. Our flagship experience blends championship courts with seamless booking, curated leagues, and a Players' Lounge designed for connection.
Tony, Jenni and Scott, in partnership with NextPlay Sports Development LLC, is bringing an entirely new pickleball experience to North Jersey — one unlike anything Jerseyans have ever seen. Backed by NextPlay Sports proven expertise in real estate development and sports facilities, the team is reimagining what a modern athletic and social destination can be.
Their shared vision goes beyond courts and competition, focusing on creating an energetic, welcoming environment where people don't just play they stay, connect, and become part of something bigger. Every space is designed to feel active, social, and community-driven, transforming pickleball facilities into true gathering places.
As managing partner and pickleball expert, Tony brings extensive experience in programming and operations. His leadership ensures excellence at every level — from court quality and league organization to clinics, junior development, scheduling, and the overall player experience. That same commitment defines the partnership and sets the standard for the PB(973) brand.
That vision comes to life with PB(973) – Play the Code, a premium indoor pickleball social club opening soon in Flanders. Built around pickleball, PB(973) introduces a vibrant social club atmosphere featuring Ping Pong, Mah Jong, canasta, billiards, and inviting gathering spaces that turn every visit into more than just a match.
Here, games turn into conversations.
