## Story

San Antonio, TX – Dill Dinkers will open its first San Antonio location, Dill Dinkers - Blanco Market on Friday, April 18. The facility will feature five (5) indoor courts, smart court technology, and dedicated programming for players of all skill levels.

The new facility brings year-round indoor pickleball to the Stone Oak area, offering courts equipped with ProCushion surfaces for joint support, individually fenced courts for uninterrupted play, and LED sports lighting for clear visibility. Additional amenities include a fully stocked ProShop with paddles, balls, and accessories from Pickleball Central, along with demo gear and exclusive member pricing. The location will also host beginner clinics, leagues for all levels, tournaments, and private event rentals.

“Pickleball is more than just a sport; it’s a way to bring people together,” said Brian Birdy, Regional Developer for Dill Dinkers. “With Dill Dinkers, we’re creating a space where players of all ages and skill levels can connect, stay active, and enjoy the game year-round. San Antonio is ready for more dedicated indoor facilities, and we’re excited to make it happen.”

Brian and Karen Birdy, both U.S. Air Force veterans and franchise owners of Dill Dinkers - Blanco Market, are also the leadership team behind PMI Birdy Properties, one of Texas’s largest property management firms. With over 20 years of experience in franchising and operations, they plan to open up to 20 Dill Dinkers locations in the greater San Antonio area.

Memberships are now available for purchase, offering early booking privileges, discounted court rates, and access to all Dill Dinkers locations. While everyone is welcome to play, demand at the Blanco Market location is expected to be high with only five courts available, and non-members may experience limited booking availability. Reservations will be managed through the CourtReserve platform.

Members of the media are invited to attend the Media Experience Week during the soft opening period (Friday, April 18 through Friday, April 25, 2025).

This experience, a behind-the-scenes insight into the growing pickleball movement and Dill Dinkers' expansion in Texas, includes:

Dill Dinkers is also announcing plans for its second San Antonio location, set to open later this year near the UTSA campus.
