Plymouth residents can now get their game on without having to step outside, thanks to several new sports and recreation facilities that have launched in the area. For those seeking vertical challenges, Big Island Bouldering at 161 Cheshire Lane, Suite 500, has been a hit since it opened in January, boasting climbing walls for all skill levels, youth areas, and even a coworking space to mix hustle with muscle.
Baseball and softball enthusiasts have scored a home run with two specialized training centers. Both Brower Baseball and Defined Baseball Academy are situated along the Highway 55 corridor and have swung their doors open since the start of the year. Brower can be found at 12755 Highway 55 and its neighbor Defined at 12940. They're pitching diverse programs aimed at bettering batting and other skills, plus, crucial strength and conditioning according to Plymouth's official news release.
If you're more into goal nets than home runs, ETS Performance at 14355 23rd Ave. N. has been gearing up athletes since last June with tailor-made training regimes meant to boost physical and mental game. Meanwhile, KraftyGolf Studio, which teed off in February at 12700 Industrial Park Blvd., is helping golfers fine-tune their swing with high-tech gadgets and personalized coaching.
InnerActive isn't just a clever name; this indoor play-space at 14600 28th Ave. N. keeps kids moving nearly every day of the year. Opened in February, it tosses in everything from a jungle gym to basketball courts—and, yes, plenty of room for the toddler set. Soccer players are leveling up too at Level Up Soccer Coaching, now at the bigger digs of 2838 Vicksburg Lane N., offering sessions to help perfect those goal-scoring kicks, according to city announcements.
The newest sports craze, pickleball, hasn't been forgotten, with PickleX and Pure Pickleball serving up a total of 25 indoor courts between them on Annapolis Lane and 12th Ave. N., respectively. Both venues aim to cater to the casual and competitive spinner of the wiffle ball alike, ensuring that everyone from novice to expert can find a court to call their own. It seems Plymouth's latest upgrades to their fitness landscape are hitting the sweet spot and creating a buzz community-wide.
