About The Sports Haus
The Sports Haus is a 38,000 square foot indoor racket club at 129 Woodward Ave, Norwalk, CT 06854, set in a converted warehouse in the South Norwalk (SoNo) neighborhood. The site sits less than a mile from downtown SoNo, close to I-95 exit 14 and the South Norwalk Metro-North station.
Opened in September 2023 by Juan Arraya, Patricio Misitrano, Mark Fischl, and Mark Parsons, the club was built around a multi-sport idea: padel as the centerpiece, alongside pickleball and golf simulators, with a social Hydration Haus self-pour wall and lounge so players can stay after their session.
The padel courts
The Sports Haus offers five dedicated indoor padel courts using MejorSet surfaces, all professionally fenced with panoramic glass and lit by overhead LED arrays for consistent year-round play. The courts are climate-controlled inside the warehouse shell, so weather is never a factor and play continues through Connecticut winters.
Court count is one of the highest in the Northeast US for a single padel facility, and the layout keeps social viewing in mind: spectators can watch from the lounge area while players warm up. Free racket rental is included for members, and demo rackets from the on-site pro shop are available for non-members on request.
The warehouse conversion gives the courts a generous ceiling clearance, which keeps high lobs in play and matches what serious players are used to at European venues. Court 1 is positioned next to the Hydration Haus for league finals and social fixtures, with three secondary courts running in parallel along the main hall.
Booking and access
Courts at The Sports Haus are bookable through the venue’s PlayByPoint system at thesportshaus.playbypoint.com or the BOOK NOW link on the venue website. Non-members can book up to three days ahead, and members up to fourteen days ahead, which matters in peak winter season.
Court rates are charged per court per 60 minutes. Non-members pay $220 peak and $180 off-peak, which works out to $55 and $45 per player in a doubles game. Members pay $120 peak and $100 off-peak, or $30 and $25 per player. Peak is weekday evenings from 5pm and weekend daytime; off-peak covers weekday midday and weekend evenings.
Opening hours are Monday and Tuesday 8am to 11pm, Wednesday and Thursday 7am to 11pm, Friday 7am to 9pm, and Saturday and Sunday 7am to 8pm. Contact is hello@sports.haus, phone (866) 625-8215, or WhatsApp on +1 203 820 0962. On-site parking is free at the Woodward Avenue lot.
Padel programme and social
Open play sessions run on a weekly schedule for both members (one free padel open play per week included) and non-members ($44 per drop-in). The club also operates in-house leagues and a fall team league for members, plus padel clinics that combine drilling with match play.
Co-founders Juan Arraya and Patricio Misitrano grew up playing padel in Argentina and currently sit as one of the top-ranked US Senior 35+ men’s teams. Private lessons, group clinics, and seasonal camps run year-round - see the coaching tab for full pricing tiers.
The Hydration Haus self-pour bar and lounge anchor the social side, with locker rooms, changing facilities, and a pro shop on-site. The two Trackman golf simulators and four indoor pickleball courts give visiting players options on rest days.
Best for
The Sports Haus suits Fairfield County and Westchester players who want a serious multi-court padel venue with a real coaching pedigree, plus a lounge culture for staying around after the game. Frequent players will save money on a membership; casual visitors should target off-peak slots to keep the per-player rate under $50.
It is less suited to players hunting for outdoor courts or sub-$30 per-player drop-in pricing - both are scarce in the Northeast US right now, and the venue is positioned as a premium private club rather than a budget option.
