Andrew McKay - Founder of Trounce Padel Club

Meet Andrew McKay

The Collingwood local bringing world-class racquet sports home

Born and raised in Collingwood, Andrew McKay has racquet sports in his DNA. From tennis courts to squash clubs, he's spent decades playing, competing, and understanding what makes great sports facilities tick.

Now Andrew is channeling that lifetime of experience into Trounce - but this isn't just another sports facility. It's his vision for what Collingwood's active community has been missing: a year-round, premium member-focused destination where competition meets connection.

Why Padel? Why Now?

Andrew discovered padel during travels and immediately saw its potential. "It's tennis meets squash meets social club," he explains. "Perfect for Collingwood's community-minded, active lifestyle."

Local Roots, Global Vision

As a Collingwood native, Andrew understands our seasons, our community, and our need for premium indoor recreation. He's building Trounce for his fellow Collingwood neighbours.

More Than Just Courts

Community First

Trounce is about creating the right community. Our members-focused model ensures an intimate atmosphere and exceptional court availability.

Quality Over Quantity

Canadian-made courts, premium surfaces, climate control - Andrew is investing in the details that matter for serious players.

Long-term Thinking

3-year rate freezes and founder benefits - every decision is made with members' interests first.

"I could have built this anywhere, but Collingwood is home. This community deserves world-class facilities, and I'm committed to delivering exactly that. When you join Trounce, you're not just getting a membership - you're becoming part of something special."

- Andrew McKay, Founder
