What is Pickleball?

Pickleball is a paddle sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and ping-pong using a paddle and plastic ball with holes. 

It is a game for players of all ages and skill levels.  It can also be a challenging, fast-paced, and competitive game for more experienced players. 

How to Play

Rules for pickleball are simple, making it a great introductory sport.  It can be played either singles or doubles, though doubles is most common.

Open Play provides a series of set times each week for players to rotate in and out of games and play with different partners. There is a lot of opportunity to play and it’s a great way to get to know other pickleball players. Once a winner has won two games in a row, they would also come off the court and allow new players to mix in.

Some sessions will be for All Levels, but others will specify leveled Open Play. Please register for the session that fits your skill level and experience of pickleball play.  Learn more about pickleball levels.
