Centcore and Sportzfolio Launch First-of-its-Kind Pickleball Real Estate Platform to Meet Surging Demand
Centcore and Sportzfolio have partnered to create a digital platform connecting property owners with pickleball facility opportunities, addressing the explosive growth of America's fastest-growing sport.
Centcore, a division of Mitesco, Inc. (OTC-QB:MITI), has announced a strategic partnership with Sportzfolio, LLC to launch a first-of-its-kind Pickleball Properties Listing & Marketing Platform. This new digital hub is designed to meet surging demand in the nation's fastest-growing sport by connecting property owners, developers, municipalities, and investors with real estate suited for pickleball courts, centers, and multi-use facilities.
The platform will operate strictly as a marketing and advertising service - not a brokerage - providing a safe, scalable, and cost-effective way to showcase properties without the compliance or liability risks of commission-based models. With tiered listing options, streamlined intake, and integrated digital marketing campaigns, the solution is positioned to become the go-to destination for the pickleball real estate market.
Brian Valania, General Manager of Centcore, stated that their Tier-3+ data center infrastructure ensures the platform runs with enterprise-grade reliability and security, while Sportzfolio brings deep expertise in sports-focused market development. The partnership aims to create a central hub that helps entrepreneurs, municipalities, and developers unlock the enormous potential of pickleball.
The platform will offer free listings with basic property data and photos, tiered paid listings with vetted summaries and lead tracking, marketing bundles with optional promotional campaigns, referral opportunities with licensed professionals, and advertising slots for vendors and service providers. Dave Conord, CEO of Sportzfolio, LLC, emphasized that pickleball represents a cultural shift driving demand for new spaces and opportunities, noting that their collaboration with Centcore delivers a secure, scalable platform built to serve the long-term needs of this industry.
With over 36 million U.S. participants in 2024 and rising numbers, pickleball continues to fuel demand for dedicated courts, training centers, and lifestyle-oriented facilities. The Centcore-Sportzfolio platform is designed to help stakeholders identify opportunities, drive visibility, and accelerate project execution in this rapidly evolving space. The companies are laying the digital foundation for pickleball's next decade of expansion through this innovative partnership that addresses the critical infrastructure needs of America's fastest-growing sport.
