Our Story
The Vision
Ace Brooks Corp. is pioneering the next generation of smart, interactive pickleball training spaces.
We started with a simple set of questions: What if a court could think? What if training could adapt to the player, not the other way around? What if a pickleball venue could operate flawlessly through IoT automation, freeing owners to focus on business growth rather than daily micro-management?
We're answering those questions right now in a warehouse in Brooks, Alberta.
What We're Building
We work across three connected fronts:
The Showroom — Our flagship facility at Bay 6, 775 Sutherland Drive. This isn't just a gym; it's a real-world B2B testbed where every hardware and software system we sell is pressure-tested on real players, in real seasons, under real Canadian conditions.
The Tech (AceBall™ OS & AIR) — Our Ace Interactive Rig (AIR) system, co-developed with elite hardware partners in Guangzhou and refined with proprietary logic here in Alberta. Designed to turn any traditional pickleball court into a smart, data-driven, and highly profitable training space.
The Retail — Curated pickleball gear, equipment, and accessories for players who care about the details, operating through a frictionless hybrid commerce model.
Why Brooks. Why Now.
Pickleball is the fastest-growing sport in Canadian history. Over 1.5 million Canadians now play monthly — more than double the US participation rate. Indoor demand is unprecedented, and new facilities are opening every week.
But the infrastructure is stuck in the past.
Located right on the Trans-Canada Highway (Highway 1), Brooks offers the low operational costs of a rural prairie city while sitting just a straight, two-hour drive from Calgary's international logistics hub.
We are not here to build just a small community project. We are using this tight-knit town as the ultimate strategic incubator for a highly scalable tech showroom. If our automated B2B hardware-software playbook works perfectly here, it proves the model can be deployed in any facility across North America.
Tech-Enabled, Community-Driven
We're here to give Brooks a world-class place to play, while giving facility owners worldwide the tools they need to succeed.
Every system we build starts with the people who will use it: the families discovering pickleball for the first time, the athletes chasing their next level, and the gym owners looking for scalable solutions beyond a fixed hourly rental rate.
Technology is our engine, but empowering communities is our destination.
Where We're Going
This is Phase One. The Brooks Showroom opens this year. The Ace Interactive Rig (AIR) ships to its first partner facilities shortly after. From there, we go everywhere courts need to be smarter — across Canada, the US, and eventually, wherever the game travels next.
