Beginner Classes

Pickleball

1-0-1

Are you brand new to pickleball and don’t know where to begin? This class is for you! You will get 2 hours of instruction giving you all the basics you need to play your first match. We will cover equipment, basic pickleball terminology, score keeping, court position, and the fundamentals of serve, return and volley. The end of the class will be reserved for some Open Play where you can start putting your new-found knowledge into action.

Pickleball

1-0-2

After completing your first Pickleball 1-0-1 class, you are ready to attend our second step, Pickleball 1-0-2. This class will include more game time so you can put all the things you learned in the first class into practice. This is a very important step and will help bridge the gap between what you learned in the first class and being able to actually play a real game of pickleball. **Must have completed Pickleball 1-0-1 to attend this class.

🚧 Exciting things are happening at The Pickleball Playground!

Our indoor court resurfacing is officially underway! 🎉
Over the next several days, Courts 1–7 will be closed as they receive a brand-new premium cushioned playing surface.

Courts 8, 9, and 10 will remain open during this phase, and we`ll continue offering indoor play opportunities. Be sure to check the app for available Open Plays as we adjust the schedule throughout the resurfacing process.

We`ll also be adding additional Outdoor Open Plays throughout the resurfacing, giving everyone more opportunities to get on the courts.

And before anyone asks... we`re keeping the new court colors a secret for now. 😉 Stay tuned for the big reveal!

We truly appreciate your patience and flexibility while we complete these improvements. We`ll keep everyone updated and let you know as soon as Courts 1–7 are back open and ready for play.

We can`t wait for you to experience the new premium cushioned courts! 💚🏓
