All IN Community
ALL IN Pickleball Gym was founded with a vision to provide a premium pickleball experience all in, all day, all pickleball.
Dan McConnon, our founder, grew up in Grand Rapids and was avidly involved in the local pickleball community from a young age. Like many of us, Dan took note of both the growing demand for learning the game and the shortage of places to play in the area. Viewing these challenges as an opportunity, caused Dan to go All In.
As part of our mission to contribute to the local pickleball community, we have put a focus on skill development, and thus, we have dedicated our space to providing a premium pickleball experience in all aspects of the gym. We are proud to provide the first dedicated pickleball facility in Grand Rapids, and to align with our mission, we have the first dedicated training courts in all of Michigan (both skinny singles and dinking short courts).
Involving the community was always part of Dan’s vision for the facility. All In Pickleball Gym is proud to have the support of local investors and ambassadors in the greater Grand Rapids pickleball network. When Dan signed the lease to our first 21,000-square-foot facility, All In was born. When we opened in April 2023, months and even years of dreaming and planning were fulfilled, and we could not be more proud of what has been achieved to this point with more to come!
We opened our second location in December 2024 in Cedar Springs, Michigan, just 2 miles north of Rockford, MI, expanding access to some of the best courts in pickleball. We could not be more thrilled to help grow the pickleball community north of downtown Grand Rapids and wherever we grow to in the future!

Thank you to our ambassadors and investors for making this possible. The pickleball community is truly amazing, and we can’t wait to play on the courts with all of you.
We appreciate you going All In with us!
