VINEYARD, UTAH — Utah City is serving up a new standard of racquet sports. On June 13, 2026, the 700-acre mixed-use development will debut its new Racquet Club. In this curated space, sport, music, and community come together to create a distinctive, relevant reimagining of the traditional club experience. Flagborough, the developer of Utah City, is teaming up with LVBL on the facility, which features two tennis courts, four padel courts, and six pickleball courts. From coast to coast in major metropolitan areas, Los Angeles-based LVBL has introduced purpose-built, lively environments for tennis, padel, and pickleball—designed for how the next generation wants to play.
“This exciting partnership with LVBL to operate the Utah City Racquet Club reflects our commitment to creating environments where social connection and community building are the centerpiece of the Utah City Athletics programming,” said Jacklyn Briggs, Director of Marketing for Utah City. “We are looking forward to introducing people to the game of padel and welcoming pickleball and tennis players to experience the new Racquet Club surrounded by epic views.”
The Sports and Fitness Industry Association reports that racquet sports had their strongest five-year run in U.S. history from 2019 to 2025, when participation rose from 14 percent of the U.S. population in 2020 to nearly 21 percent in 2025. Gen Z participation in racquet sports reached 27 percent in 2025, with Millennials at nearly 23 percent.
As padel rapidly gains popularity in the U.S., Utah City Racquet Club is one of the first to introduce the Spanish sport to Utah County. The United States Padel Association reports a record 1,073,000 Americans played padel in 2025. Nationally, 10 million padel players are anticipated by 2030.
“Our signature game of LVBL, LIVEBALL is a high-energy, fast-paced, incredibly fun, addicting format that checks all the boxes: community, cardio, and competition across all three racquet sport disciplines,” explains Guy Logan, Founder and CEO of LVBL. “Utah City’s purposeful fostering of community perfectly aligns with how people now want to experience pickleball, padel, and tennis in an inclusive, stylish, and approachable manner. Given Utah’s national reputation as a hot spot for pickleball, we are also eager to expose players to padel as it becomes more popular in the U.S.”
LVBL brings together beginners, social players, and competitive athletes in the same environment—not separated by level but connected by experience. In the constantly energetic atmosphere, players flow in and out of points, matchups shift continuously, and every session becomes a dynamic mix of competition and connection The LVBL Utah City experience is a full ecosystem built for everyone that includes:
• Adult clinics that blend development with high-energy group play
• Private lessons tailored to individual growth and performance
• Kids camps focused on movement, confidence, and long-term fundamentals
• Open play sessions designed for constant rotation, competition, and community
Adding to the atmosphere, the Racquet Club is opposite Bella’s Market, Fini Pizza, and Fini Café, where players can conveniently enjoy a wide variety of food and beverage offerings.
For a limited time, Utah City residents will be offered a complimentary two-year membership to the Racquet Club, valid through the end of their lease terms. Membership pricing will start at $99 a month for an individual, or $200 per month for a family. This includes free court rentals for tennis and pickleball, and 25 percent off all programming costs for the three sports.
