Indoor pickleball expanding Tampa Bay presence

After opening its first location in Florida last year, indoor pickleball franchise Dill Dinkers is expanding its presence in Tampa Bay and Lakeland with 20 new locations.

Martina and Andrew Kochli are spearheading the expansion. Martina Kochli is the global brand ambassador for Dill Dinkers and a former professional pickleball player. The company did not release information about the opening dates for the pickleball courts.

“Pickleball is more than a sport — it’s a way to build community and foster personal growth. Dill Dinkers embodies that spirit with its exceptional facilities and welcoming atmosphere,” says Kochli in a statement. “As a professional player and Global Brand Ambassador for Dill Dinkers, I’ve seen how the brand consistently creates spaces where players of all levels feel at home. Andrew and I are thrilled to expand Dill Dinkers’ presence in Florida, further strengthening its impact with more opportunities to experience the joy of pickleball in an unparalleled environment.”
