Alex Neumann
Co-Founder & Pro Player · PPA Tour · #14 Career Singles Ranking
After playing college tennis, Alex discovered pickleball during COVID in 2021 while playing on public courts with his mom and was instantly hooked. Just a year later he earned his first professional medal, and in 2023 he began competing full-time on the PPA Tour. Since then, he's traveled the country competing against the top players in the world, reaching a career-high singles ranking of #14 and earning sponsorships with brands like CRBN Paddles, Thorlos Socks, and JLab Audio.
Alex's interest in court design started when his mom decided to build a backyard pickleball court of her own. Going through that process showed him how much the planning stage matters — from layout and orientation to surface performance and long-term durability.
Today, through Backyard Pickleball Builders, Alex helps homeowners and property owners plan and execute pickleball court projects from concept through completion. He guides clients through the key design and planning decisions that make the difference between a court that simply looks good and one that truly plays well.
Built Different.
By Design.
We're not a generic contractor network. We're pro players who understand courts — and obsessive project managers who see every build through.
Expertise from a Pro
With 5+ years playing professional pickleball on courts all over the country, our team knows what it takes to build smooth, durable, and play-ready pickleball courts that last.
Personalized, Transparent Guidance
Every space is different. We're not a franchise and we don't use a template. We work with you one-on-one to design a custom court that complements your property based on budget and goals.
Full-Service Project Management
Every detail — from site prep to installing the net — is managed by experts who treat your court like their own. Alex maintains a direct line to the builder throughout every project.
Fast Turnaround — 6 Weeks
Our relationship with experienced local crews helps us streamline planning and complete projects in as little as 6 weeks, without cutting corners.
High-Quality Materials
We source professional-grade concrete, coatings, posts, and nets — the same products used in pro tournaments — for a finish that performs under pressure.
Local Know-How, Nationwide
We build with local crews across the US — from Florida and Texas to California and beyond. Every project is executed with care for local climate and conditions.
From First Call

What Clients Say
Real feedback from homeowners and facility operators across the country.
“Alex's expertise as a pro player was invaluable. He helped us pick the right size and materials for our court before we started, and then he and his builders walked us through every step of the project during the build. We knew the job was in good hands from day one.”
“Thank you Alex! I had a lot of concerns about building a court in my area after seeing my neighbor's court full of cracks. Our court has yet to crack and all of our friends say it's their favorite place to play pickleball!”
“If you're starting a new pickleball facility, I highly recommend going with Alex and his team. Our courts came out great, but even more importantly Alex helped answer questions I didn't know at the start to make our space work well for all types of players.”
