Located on the third floor of Brivado Centro, the venue promises a new way to focus, practice, and improve for players of all skill levels.
A New Way to Practice in Comfort
Court Lab redefines the practice experience by combining dedicated indoor courts with technology-assisted training. Players can work on their game at their own pace, with staff available to assist throughout the session. The air-conditioned environment ensures comfort even during Davao’s warmest afternoons, making practice sessions more enjoyable and productive.

Premium Amenities and Accessible Rates
Court Lab features a range of amenities to enhance the player experience. Free parking is available, along with clean restrooms and equipment rental services. The venue operates daily from 9:00 AM to 12:00 AM, accommodating early risers and night owls alike.
Tennis court rentals start at P365 per hour, while pickleball courts are available from P315 per hour. These accessible rates make regular practice feasible for casual players and serious athletes. The facility’s location within Brivado Centro places it at the heart of Davao City, easily reachable from major thoroughfares.
Booking and Community Engagement
Players can view courts and book sessions online through PickleHub, a digital platform that streamlines court discovery and reservations. The system allows users to check availability, secure slots, and manage bookings conveniently. This tech-forward approach aligns with Court Lab’s mission to modernize how Dabawenyos engage with racket sports.
The opening of Court Lab reflects the surging popularity of tennis and pickleball in Davao. The city has seen a boom in pickleball clubs and courts over the past year, with venues like Dink Lab, Premier Court, and PINKLEBALL Davao attracting growing communities. Court Lab’s automated and air-conditioned concept adds a fresh option for players seeking a premium practice environment.
A Space Made for Focus and Improvement
Court Lab’s philosophy centers on intentional practice. The facility’s tagline, “Practice Anywhere,” emphasizes that improvement happens through consistent, focused effort. By providing a dedicated space free from outdoor distractions, the venue helps players build better habits and track their progress more effectively.
The automated practice technology allows players to train independently, receiving consistent feeds and working on specific shots. This setup is ideal for players who want to isolate weaknesses, refine technique, or simply get in extra reps without needing a partner. Staff assistance ensures that beginners receive guidance while advanced players enjoy autonomy.
Elevating Davao’s Sports Tourism Appeal
Court Lab’s opening adds another attraction to Davao’s growing list of lifestyle destinations. The city continues to position itself as a hub for sports and recreation, complementing its natural attractions and culinary scene. For tourists and locals alike, the facility offers a convenient way to stay active while enjoying a premium indoor environment.
With its strategic location, accessible rates, and modern amenities, Court Lab is poised to become a favorite among Davao’s racket sports enthusiasts. The October 8 opening marks a new chapter in the city’s sports landscape, one defined by comfort, technology, and a commitment to player development.
