The Problem
Shared courts and mats create a hygiene challenge
Pickleball is the fastest-growing sport in North America, with over 8 million players and counting. That growth creates a hygiene reality most clubs don't talk about: dozens of players in close proximity, sharing the same court surface session after session. Athlete's foot, fungal nail infections, and foot odor complaints are common byproducts of high-traffic shared courts. The bacteria and fungi responsible don't stay on the floor. They travel in and out on every pair of shoes that walks through your door.
How Freshtrax Helps
Four-stage sanitization. 90 seconds.
Eliminates court contamination at the source
Ozone, UVC light, antimicrobial vapor, and heat treat shoes before players step on court, breaking the transmission cycle of fungi and bacteria between sessions.
90-second self-service cycle
No staff involvement. Members sanitize their own shoes before or after play. Works during warm-up, between games, or on the way out.
Reduces athlete's foot complaints
Tinea pedis spreads readily in shared court environments. Regular sanitization disrupts the cycle and reduces infection risk for your entire membership.
For Venue Partners
A revenue-generating amenity. Zero staff required.
Passive revenue with no staffing cost
Every cycle generates about $3.53 net on average for the kiosk owner after operating costs. At 20 to 30 cycles per day, that's about $2,065 to $3,138/month with zero additional headcount.
Premium amenity that differentiates your club
As pickleball clubs multiply, hygiene amenities are becoming a meaningful differentiator. Members notice, and mention it to friends.
Protects your court investment
Cleaner shoes mean less debris, less grime, and less wear on your court surface. The kiosk pays for itself while extending the life of your courts.
No staff, no food inventory, minimal upkeep
Freshtrax kiosks are designed for unattended operation. Upkeep is a roughly 20-minute vapor refill and wipe-down about once a month, with the vapor supplied by Freshtrax. No staff training required.
FAQ
Common questions
Where is the kiosk typically placed in a pickleball facility?
Most clubs place the kiosk near the court entrance or in the lobby, so members can sanitize on the way in. Some facilities place it adjacent to the locker room.
Does it work for all types of court shoes?
Yes. The Freshtrax chamber accommodates standard athletic footwear including pickleball-specific court shoes, sneakers, and cross-trainers up to size 15.
How much space does the kiosk require?
The kiosk footprint is compact (28.5" x 26.5") and can be positioned against a wall or in any open floor area near court access.
How does revenue collection work for the venue?
Kiosk owners (which can be the venue itself or an independent owner) collect revenue through the Freshtrax platform. Payments are cashless. The venue hosts the kiosk in exchange for a revenue split or a flat placement arrangement.
