What is a commercial pickleball simulator?
It is a technology-assisted system that creates pickleball-based games, targets, scores or training feedback without reproducing a full regulation court.
What is Playkout?
Playkout is a physical interactive sports system. Players use real paddles and balls to strike a responsive target wall while the system delivers games, scores and feedback.
Is Playkout virtual reality?
No. It does not depend on a VR headset.
How much space does the system need?
The simulator is approximately 11 feet high, 11 feet wide and 4 feet deep. Playkout’s 2026 floor-plan diagram uses a 16-foot-long by 11-foot-wide planning area. Final placement should also account for circulation, accessibility and local requirements.
Can the pickleball simulator be used in an entertainment centre?
Yes. The pickleball simulator is built for entertainment centres, with active games, scores and group formats. Court Systems reviews the room, safety, staffing, booking and guest-flow plan for each venue.
Can a venue charge for it?
Yes. Revenue models can include bay rentals, private events, tournaments, fitness classes and junior programs. Rates and demand depend on the venue and local market.
How many players can use it?
The pickleball simulator supports direct 1v1 and two-player formats. Group events can rotate 4–12 participants through games and accommodate 4–20+ total attendees.
Can Court Systems supply Playkout in Canada?
Court Systems is a non-exclusive reseller for commercial projects in Canada outside Québec. Playkout may also sell directly or through other channels in the same territory.
How much does Playkout cost?
Pricing is project-specific. Court Systems prepares Canadian quotes based on the selected configuration, project location, delivery and installation responsibilities.
What are the electrical and internet requirements?
Each simulator requires a standard 120V outlet and draws approximately 12–15A with all equipment connected. A dedicated Ethernet connection with an RJ45 wall plate behind the simulator is preferred; Wi-Fi is an alternative. The tablet or kiosk also needs consistent charging.
Who installs the simulator?
The Playkout team manages installation, which is typically completed in under two days per simulator. Flooring, power and network connections must be complete and working before arrival. No scissor lift, forklift or other large machinery is required.
Does it replace a regulation court?
No. It creates target games and interactive formats that can complement traditional court play.
