Open Play
A fun membership benefit is access to FREE OPEN PLAY sessions. OPEN PLAY is an opportunity to play with fellow members in a recreational format. Game winners stay on the court and split into new teams; teams that lost rotate off to allow the next players to come on. Typically if a member has won two games in a row, they also rotate off to allow other members to play. This format allows the group to play with lots of partners – a great opportunity to have fun with friends as well as meet new players!
The rating guidelines are based on USAPA rating descriptions which can be found here:
https://usapickleball.org/tournaments/tournament-player-ratings/player-skill-rating-definitions/
To ensure everyone gets lots of playing time, sessions are 2hrs in length with max number of players allowing for 2-4 subs depending on the number of courts.
We are excited to offer many types of OPEN PLAY!
