Dive into the lively action of Open Play at The Pickle Lodge! Our sessions, spanning 2-3 hours, are available at various times throughout the week, ensuring there’s a convenient slot for everyone. Skill levels are divided to provide a balanced and enjoyable playtime. We also offer dedicated Open Play sessions for women. Here’s how we break down skill levels at The Pickle Lodge:
- Entry Players (2.0+): Entry players are just starting their pickleball journey. They are learning the basic rules, techniques, and strategies of the game. Entry-level players focus on building fundamental skills and gaining experience on the court.
- Emerging Players (3.25+): Emerging players have progressed beyond the basics and are refining their skills. They exhibit improved control, placement, and court awareness. They actively seek to improve their game.
- Enthusiast Players (3.75+): Enthusiast players are passionate about pickleball and often play multiple times a week, if not multiple times a day. They have a very good grasp of the game’s technical and strategic nuances, using advanced shot selection to their advantage. They understand their role in a wide range of on-court situations, and consistently communicate with their partner.
- Elite Players (4.0+): Elite players are at the top of their game, often competing at the highest levels of the sport. They possess exceptional skills, strategy, and court awareness. Elite players frequently participate in high-level competition, actively working to improve their skills and often their ratings.
Due to high demand, these sessions tend to fill up quickly, so securing your spot early is highly recommended. To ensure fair play for all, we have a courteous policy in place: if you win, you split and stay, but if you lose, it’s time to make way for others. Plus, you have the chance to win twice in a row before graciously stepping off the court. And don’t forget to use our convenient paddle racks to save your spot in line!
Nonmembers pay $12 per session, Friend members pay $8 per session, and Fanatic and Founder members enjoy UNLIMITED FREE open play sessions every month. Demo paddles are available at the front desk for $5.
