The Rise of Pickleball: Inside Malvern’s Bounce Pickleball Club
Talen Singer, the Founder of Bounce Pickleball, Continues to Grow the Sport and Community
On a scorching summer morning in Malvern, Talen Singer, the founder of Bounce Pickleball, sits in his office contemplating the future of his enterprise. Despite facing a dental mishap with a broken tooth, Singer remains undeterred as he discusses the expansion of his pickleball empire.
Bounce Pickleball, located in the former Great Valley Racquet Club, has become a hub for pickleball enthusiasts in the local community. With 14 courts bustling with games and lessons, including a kids’ clinic, Bounce has established itself as a premier destination for pickleball players of all levels.
Singer, a former boutique fitness club owner and pole vaulting coach, opened Bounce 14 months ago with the goal of connecting people through the sport of pickleball. He believes that pickleball’s appeal lies in its ability to be both a recreational pastime and a competitive sport, catering to players of all ages and skill levels.
With approximately 1,800 members, Bounce offers various membership options starting at $125 annually. The facility, while no-frills, boasts top-notch courts and a welcoming atmosphere for players to enjoy the game. Singer’s vision for Bounce extends beyond its current location, as he plans to expand to other towns while maintaining the club’s emphasis on community and inclusivity.
Among Bounce’s team of instructors is Australian pickleball pro Morgan Evans, who emphasizes the importance of creating a competitive yet fun environment for players. Singer’s dedication to growing the sport and fostering a sense of camaraderie among players has earned him praise from colleagues and coaches alike.
As Singer looks towards the future, his passion for pickleball and commitment to building a strong community around the sport remain unwavering. With plans to bring the Bounce concept to new locations and introduce pickleball to a wider audience, Singer’s vision for the sport continues to evolve and thrive.
