“Open Play” is a regularly scheduled, organized event where players can show up to play without a partner. Players rotate in and out to mix/match with others of similar skill levels, creating a fun, dynamic, and social environment. “Open Play” sessions are scheduled daily to give players a chance to meet other players. If you do not want to play with different partners throughout the evening, and prefer to stay with your group, you should reserve a court instead. The term “Open Play” implies no reservation required, however we definitely recommend pre-registering, to make sure you get a spot as space in each Open Play is limited.

This class will prepare you for the next step class, Pickleball 1-0-2.
