Down the Line Pickleball Center: A new pickleball center called Down the Line is set to open in Annandale on Sunday, June 15, with a soft opening. The 12-court facility is located at 4311 Ravensworth Road in a building that had been empty since Kid’s Choice Sports Center shut down.
Modern Features and Upcoming Grand Opening
Down the Line will offer 12 championship-size pickleball courts. These courts include electronic scoreboards and streaming options for some matches. A lounge and bar overlook the playing area. Some parts of the facility are still under construction, but they are expected to be finished before the grand opening on July 7.
Owner Jenni Bae said the facility will also include a gym, three golf simulators—one in a private party room—a full-service restaurant, locker rooms, a pro shop, and a special lounge for top-tier members. This lounge will have massage chairs and games.

More Than Just Courts
Jenni Bae is planning leagues, tournaments, coaching sessions, and kids’ pickleball camps. During the Grand Opening, professional player Ben Johns and other top players will give coaching tips. There will also be a “special edition tournament” as part of Bae’s yearlong “Road to Minors” tournament series.
The new restaurant will offer sandwiches, tacos, salads, wings, nachos, chicken tenders, smoothies, beer, and cocktails.
Membership Options and Expansion
Down the Line already has 100 members. Many of them switched from the Fairfax pickleball facility that Jenni Bae previously developed. That location was only meant to be temporary, but it will stay open. The Fairfax facility will run without staff. Members will use an app to get in and play.
One local resident, Paul, said in a comment on June 13, 2025, “Looking forward to some kids camps. It is surprisingly hard to find kid pickleball in the area.”
A Boost for the Pickleball Community
Down the Line is expected to become a hub for pickleball players of all ages. Its modern design and wide range of features will help meet the growing demand for courts and youth programs in Northern Virginia.
