Open play is available all day, every day! Open play sessions are two hours and cost $20 for members and $30 for non-members. Rally Pass and Open Play Pass holders play for FREE. Sign up!

#9 – Play More Pickleball! Get a Pass!

Play more pickleball. Indoors. In a climate-controlled environment that is never too hot and never too cold. That’s an excellent way to chase off the dark day blues. With a Rally Pass or an Open Play Pass you can play all the time! The highlights are below, but click through to our membership page for all the details.

The Rally Pass is $200/month.

• Court reservations – included!
• Open play sessions – included!
• Training court fees – included!
• 50% off league fees!

What’s the math? One example:

1 (2-HR) court reservation/week ($30)

1 open play session/week ($20)

$50 X 4 weeks = you’ve covered the cost of your pass! Keep playing with no additional cost!

The Rally Pass is an annual pass but can be cancelled with 30 days notice.

The Open Play Pass is $120/month.

Play open play (includes Pickle Jamz) ALL the time! It’s all covered with your Pass!

What’s the math? Example:

6 open play sessions/month

(@$20 ea)

$6 X $20 = $120

Play on average 1.5x a week and you’ve covered the cost of your pass! And now you can just keep playing for free!

The Open Play Pass is a month-to-month commitment.
