Ways to Play Pickleball
Open Play
Get Matched Up with Players of Similar Skill
Open play is a casual type of pickleball that is open to players of every skill level. Book your spot for a predetermined open play session and play with other pickleball players of similar ability. This is a great opportunity for beginners to become familiar with the game and for pro players to take their game to the next level. Have a great time playing, drinking, eating, socializing, and meeting new people who have the same interest in pickleball that you do!
Player Blocks
Book Indoor or Outdoor Courts for You and Your Crew
Player block sessions are a unique opportunity for you and your group to make private court bookings and enjoy a session all to yourselves! We currently offer:
- Group court reservations
- Individual court reservations
You can reserve private court bookings for you and your colleagues, friends, or family members who enjoy the sport of pickleball. Book as many available courts as you need and get away from your everyday stressors while getting in a good workout. Our regulation standard indoor/outdoor courts provide the perfect environment for pickleball players of every skill level. Socialize with your pickleball group as you improve your game and engage in a little friendly competition.
Leagues
Show Off Your Skills with Competitive League Play
Joining a pickleball league allows you to improve your skills against evenly-matched competitors. Our leagues are divided into tiers based on skill level and ability.
Just as with most traditional sports, pickleball leagues follow a set season with a predetermined schedule for regular matches and championship games. Pickleball leagues are a great addition to casual pickleball play and can help you quickly improve your game.
Clinics
Take Your Game Further with Private Instruction
Our clinics are designed for players who want one-on-one attention or small group coaching with a dedicated instructor. Whether you’re brand new to pickleball or looking to refine specific skills, private lessons provide personalized guidance to help you grow your game faster. Work directly with an experienced coach, sharpen your technique, and gain confidence on the court in a fun, supportive environment.
