A morning of fun, food, and pickleball
Join us for our 18 and Under Play Free Open House. Whether your child is brand new to the sport or looking to sharpen their skills, we have something for everyone.
Kids can take a free introductory lesson for their age group, led by our expert coaches. Lesson spaces are capped, so register early. If lesson spots fill up, kids are still welcome to drop in and play on our open play courts.
While the kids hit the courts, parents can hang out, ask questions about our upcoming afterschool program, and enjoy fresh pancakes, coffee, and juice on us. Or grab a paddle and play, because parents play free, too.

Open play by level
Open play courts are reserved by skill level so every kid plays with others at their stage. Not sure where your child fits? Ask any coach on the floor.
Level 0
Ages 5–6 · Try the sport
- A great place for little ones to try pickleball for the first time.
- A parent or adult must stay with their child on the court.
- Parents, grab a paddle and try it with your kid. Rallies are short at this age, so playing together keeps it fun.
- The court comes with 1 ball basket and 2 ball tubes.
Level 1
Can hit the ball
- For kids who can hit the ball but are not yet ready to play a full game or keep score.
- Parents and adults are welcome to join in, but it is optional.
Level 2
Ready for games
- For kids who can actively play games.
Adult Open Play Included
Parents play free, too. Adults are welcome on the open play courts during the event.
