Our four outdoor pickleball-only (no fighting with tennis and basketball lines!) are open from June into October.
In the Summer we can help you learn how to play, improve your game with Drill ‘n Play Clinics, and give you lots of playing time with Open Play by Levels, Contract Time, and special events. Private and group lessons are available from PPR Certified Pickleball Coaches. The Club also has a USPA Certified Level 1 Referee available.

Pickleball Event Descriptions
Drill ‘n Play Clinics
Drill ‘n Play Clinics are designed to improve your game and focus on skill specific drills led by a PPR Certified Coach. All Clinics end with coached game play at the end of the session.
Open Play by Levels
Open play time by levels allows people to enjoy games with other players at their level. Players can come and go as they please within the time frame. Pre- registration is not required but is highly recommended. People are rotated in as people come off the court.
Round Robins by Level
Round Robin by level is timed, organized play with a specific number of people led by a host. You will play with – and against – different players throughout the scheduled time. Registration and attendance is required as Round Robins require full courts to be run successfully.
Contract Time
Contract time is a specific day and time of the week that a group of people privately contract 1 to 3 courts for a period of time.
Learn to Play Clinics
Learn to Play Clinics are for those people who have never played pickleball or those who are new to the game and want to gain a bit more knowledge, skills and confidence. You will learn everything you need to feel comfortable joining in the Open Play and Round Robins.
Coaching & Lessons
Private and group coaching and lessons are be available from PPR Certified Coaches.
Private Court Booking
Some court time will be available for ad hoc private booking. This is perfect if you have friends of family coming to visit and you’d like to have your own court(s) to play. Also perfect for corporate events, birthday parties and special events.
