    Competitive Play

    Want a challenge? Join one of our Competitive Play slots! Competitive Play is a round-robin format with games to 11 points, win by one. Teams and/or players are rotated after each round. Winning teams may stay for up to three games before rotating out. Space is limited in the Competitive Play category so sign up soon to reserve your space! Competitors will have access to the Open/Social play before and after their competition times.


    Open/Social Play

    If a more casual round of pickleball is better for your mental health, sign up for our Open/Social Play! Join other casual picklers for games to 11, win by one. Like the Competitive courts, Open/Social courts will be on the honor system and teams will rotate after each game. 


    Learn to Play

    New to pickleball? Sign up for our Learn to Play option! One court will be dedicated to helping new players learn the rules and techniques of pickleball guided by the wonderful coaches at POP.
