Looking for great games and a fun atmosphere? Social Play is the perfect way to get on the court, meet new players, and enjoy lots of pickleball.
When one court is running, winners stay on for a maximum of two games before rotating out.
When two or more courts are running, we use the paddle bin system so players rotate in as games finish and everyone gets plenty of play.
Jump in, mix up partners, and enjoy a lively session of pickleball! 🏓
