Crush Yard: Pickleball with a little help from our friends. What you need to know about this Mount Pleasant, SC Venue
Crush Yard is thrilled to announce Rob Gronkowski and his brothers, among other NFL greats including AJ Green and Brian Dawkins, as investors and brand ambassadors. Matt “McNasty” Manassee, pickleball coach to the stars who recently finished training Emma Watson in CBS’s celebrity tournament “Pickled,” has also been appointed Crush Yard’s Chief Brand Ambassador. Picklers can expect to see and work with him in Mount Pleasant next year.
IPTPA Certified Level II Teaching Pro Dan Levine has been selected as Crush Yard’s Director of Pickleball and Head Pro, and will be offering private and group lessons, facilitating leagues and tournaments and assisting guests with equipment fittings to their custom USA Pickleball pro and tournament certified TMPR paddles, available for rent and purchase on site.
The pickleball club and restaurant is also excited to announce their two unique membership options:
- Yard Membership: includes discounts on court reservations, equipment rentals and certain retail purchases, in addition to unlimited soft drinks and the ability to earn credit when purchasing food.
- Crush Membership: boasts everything the Yard Membership offers plus free unlimited rentals, bigger discounts, access to daily members-only open play hours and early access to all court reservations and clinic, tournament and camp registrations.
Finally, Crush Yard is excited to partner with North Charleston-based Holy City Brewing and Summerville-based One Nation Coffee to enhance their beverage offerings. Crush Yard will be pouring custom One Nation coffee in house and selling grounds for caffeine fanatics to take home. Holy City has created a micro brew just for Crush Yard called Dinker’s Delight, a wheat variety hopped with citra and fermented with orange purée. This ale will be available alongside an extensive selection through Crush Yard’s self-serve tap system.
I haven’t seen a single thing that leads me to any other conclusion than that Crush Yard is running some kind of Ponzi scheme with pre-opening membership fees. If you look at their website and FB page you’d never know that the place isn’t open. Has never been open. And is still an active construction site with no courts in site. The Town of MtP should look into what Crush Yard is doing with peoples money.
