What Total Sport Solutions does

Total Sport Solutions (operating as TSS Pickleball) is an Oakville, Ontario-based design-build and distribution company founded in 2012 by CEO Ian Lintott, specializing in premium pickleball and multi-sport court construction for residential and commercial customers across Canada. The firm serves two core segments: residential homeowners seeking backyard courts priced at $55,000–$100,000+ per project, and commercial operators including clubs (e.g., Mayfair Clubs, CourtX, SMASH Pickleball, Rally at Sherwood Village, Pickleplex), universities (York University), curling clubs (Sarnia Golf and Curling Club, Soo Curlers Association), and fitness operators (Altea Active). Distribution is consultative and project-based, delivered through direct sales, a physical Oakville showroom, an e-commerce catalog, and a partner network extending reach to all of Canada.

The company's technology stack centers on physical sports surfaces and accessories. TSS holds exclusive Canadian distribution for PickleGlass soundproof glass fencing (50% sound suppression, hurricane-rated to 125–200 MPH) and Pickleball United net systems (Championship and Evolution, the official net of Major League Pickleball), is an authorized dealer for Acrytech Sports Coatings (official surface of the Professional Pickleball Association), and offers a proprietary rollout court surface for curling rink and arena conversions. The company holds the Official Court Supplier designation for Pickleball Ontario (June 2025–December 2026) and Official Flooring Partner status for the Canadian National Pickleball League, anchoring its brand at the professional and provincial tiers.

Revenue is generated through one-time project-based court construction, court resurfacing services, and hardware sales (surfaces, nets, fencing, accessories) via the e-commerce merchant catalog. The firm is bootstrapped with no external venture or private equity capital, operates with an 11–50 person team, and pursues a multi-channel GTM combining enterprise field sales, event-driven sponsorships and mall activations, and community-led content/research aimed at curling clubs diversifying into pickleball. Customer support is anchored by a 4.9-star Google rating across 79+ reviews, and the company is riding the Canadian pickleball market's 440% growth since 2020.
