📖 Program Overview

New to pickleball? Let's play!

Beginner Open Play is designed for newer players who know the basics and are ready to gain confidence through real games in a fun, welcoming environment.

This 2-hour session is a great opportunity to practice what you've learned, meet other beginners, and get more comfortable with scoring, positioning, and gameplay.

Expect friendly competition, rotating partners, and plenty of opportunities to put your skills into practice.

No pressure. Just beginner-friendly pickleball.
