Step inside Velto Pickleball and you’ll quickly realize this is beyond a pickleball club. Within an impressive 14,000 square feet space, this sleek playground reimagines what a sports club can be. Four pro-level, cushioned Laykold courts set the stage, enhanced by live stat tracking, instant replay technology, pro instructors, polished lounge areas, modern coworking spaces, lockers, and a hospitality-driven vibe that feels more boutique hotel than neighborhood rec center.
Grab your $39 pulse (a $99 value) that gets you an Intro Bundle, complete with 1 Intro to Pickleball Class, as well as 1 Beginner or Advanced Beginner Coach-Guided Session.
Round up your pals and secure this $65 pulse (an $80/$110 value) for a Private Court Booking for 60 Minutes During Peak or Off Peak Times for up to 4 Players.
And then there’s the workout. Disguised as pure fun, pickleball has quickly become one of the most addictive sports on the planet, and for good reason. A single hour of play can burn anywhere from 400 to 700 calories, making it the ultimate feel-good sweat session. With quick volleys, competitive bursts, and just enough strategy to keep you coming back for “one more match,” it’s fast, social, and wildly satisfying.
Velto taps into that energy and elevates it. Whether you’re booking a private court, dropping into open play, or joining a clinic, league, or tournament, everything here is thoughtfully programmed for seamless, high-quality play. No membership? No problem. Walk-ins are welcome, paddles and balls are provided, and every session is structured to ensure fair matchups and continuous games.
Off the court is where Velto really flexes. Picture post-match hangs that turn into new friendships over kombucha, caviar, wine, or even a full meal from curated vending machines that feel anything but ordinary. Between games, you might find yourself answering emails in the coworking lounge, challenging friends at the pickleball arcade, or simply soaking in the buzz of a community that’s as social as it is active.
Velto isn’t just riding the pickleball wave, it’s defining it, with a luxe, all-in-one experience that makes it nearly impossible to leave...
Velto Pickleball Club is rewriting the playbook. Founded by Jawad Mourabet, an MIT graduate who stepped away from a career at McKinsey & Company to build something entirely his own, Velto reflects a rare blend of analytical precision and lifestyle-driven vision. Instead of defaulting to the typical NYC membership model, Mourabet and his team introduced a more flexible, modern approach with “open play packs,” making high-quality play more accessible while maintaining an elevated, premium experience.
Behind the scenes, Velto is powered by a team of founders and operators with backgrounds spanning sports, hospitality, and community-building, an intersection that’s evident in every detail. From the professional-grade Laykold cushioned courts to the seamless flow of organized programming, the club runs with a level of polish that feels closer to a boutique fitness brand than a traditional sports facility.
Coaches and instructors bring both technical expertise and an approachable energy, offering private lessons, clinics, and structured play that cater to beginners and seasoned competitors alike. Every touchpoint is designed to remove friction and elevate the game.
But what truly sets Velto apart is its commitment to building what Mourabet describes as a “third space,” aka a place that exists between home and work, where people actually want to spend time. Inside the expansive 14,000-square-foot Red Hook facility, that vision comes to life through high-end furnishings, thoughtfully designed coworking areas, and even subtle sensory details like custom scents circulating through the HVAC system.
At its core, Velto is as much about growing the sport as it is about shaping its future. Through tournaments, social programming, and community-driven events, the club is actively expanding pickleball’s reach while fostering a culture that feels inclusive, energized, and distinctly modern. It’s a level of intentionality that transforms the club into something far beyond a place to play. It’s a place to linger, connect, and return to again and again.
Whether you’re stepping onto the court for the first time or showing up for high-level competition, Velto delivers a community that feels built for what pickleball is becoming: global, social, and undeniably addictive...

"Had my very first pickleball session today and I’m officially hooked! Huge thank you to the amazing team at Velto for such a warm and welcoming experience. And massive respect to Coach Charlie — he’s absolutely incredible! He explains everything in such a fun, easy-to-understand way and makes the whole game feel exciting and approachable, even for a total beginner like me. It was not only a great workout but also so much fun meeting new people on the court. Such a good vibe all around. Can’t wait to play again!"
"This is by far the most luxurious pickle court I’ve been to. Staff are always so nice and they have amazing open/social play right now. There are spacious lounge areas perfect for work/laptop. I went on Sunday night and the staff were very helpful and actively kept the courts clean. Would definitely come back. Their merch is also high quality and fashionable, I got 2 hats."
"This was my first time visiting Velto Pickleball, and even though I’m still pretty new to pickleball, I loved the experience. They offer lessons, which is a big plus. I was especially impressed with how easy everything is to book. The self-service vending machines are next level, with high-quality products and even full meals. They somehow even sell caviar. The lockers and changing rooms are super convenient, and the work stations are surprisingly comfortable. I’m definitely looking forward to coming back more often and would highly recommend it. It’s a great escape from the hustle and bustle of NYC."
