How many courts do we need for an office of 20-30 people?

It depends how many people play at once versus rotate, but most organizers book several courts running in parallel plus a waiting or social area so people aren't just standing around between games.

Do we need a coach if most of the group has never played?

It helps a lot. A short intro session on rules and basic shots means people aren't lost when games start, and a coach can also run a simple round-robin format to keep things moving.

Can the venue supply paddles for everyone?

Many indoor and outdoor court venues also handle equipment rental, so check if you can bundle paddle and ball rental into the same booking instead of arranging it separately.

Corporate pickleball events and team-building sessions

A corporate team-building session on pickleball courts isn't just a court rental. It usually needs enough courts booked together for a whole department, a coach or two to run beginners through the basics, and enough paddles and balls for everyone since most office groups don't own their own gear.

This is a bundle across three categories: court hire (indoor or outdoor depending on group size and weather risk), a coach to run drills and mini games so non-players aren't standing around, and equipment rental for the group. None of the individual category pages cover organizing all three together for a one-off group event.

Multiple courts booked back-to-back or side-by-side for a large group
A coach or two to run a quick intro session before free play or a mini tournament format
Paddle and ball rental sized for the group, since most corporate groups don't bring their own equipment

What it costs

Cost depends on group size, number of courts booked, whether you add coaching, and how many paddle sets you need to rent. Larger groups need more courts running in parallel or a longer block of time, and adding a coach for structured games adds to the base court rental cost. Ask venues directly whether they offer a package rate for group bookings rather than paying for each element separately.
