Rajesh Byldugula is the new franchisee of Pickleball Kingdom in Plano as of Feb. 6, Byldugula said.
What’s happening
Pickleball Kingdom closed in October 2025 under the previous franchisee, Byldugula said.
Byldugula said he’s honoring former members by applying their remaining prorated balance as a discount on a new membership.
“We are honoring that to help the community come back and enjoy the nice environment,” Byldugula said.
The set up
Members and nonmembers can participate in open play and tournaments.
Pickleball Kingdom in Plano has 15 full-size courts, one of which is designated as a coach-led training court. There are also warm up courts located in an upstairs loft area.
Event spaces, meeting rooms and a snack bar are also onsite.
