COURT PLAY

Advanced Open Play is designed for experienced players who enjoy a faster-paced and more competitive style of play. Participants should be comfortable with the rules of the game, court positioning, serving and returning consistently, and sustaining rallies at a higher level of play.

This session provides an opportunity to compete against a variety of players while enjoying the social atmosphere that makes pickleball such a great sport. Players rotate on and off the courts using the paddle rack system, allowing everyone an opportunity to play with and against different partners throughout the session.

• Faster-paced games and rallies
• Competitive but friendly atmosphere
• Mixed play with a variety of partners and opponents
• Standard Open Play paddle rack rotation
• Challenge Court available when designated

Advanced Open Play is intended for players who can consistently maintain rallies, understand basic strategy, and are comfortable playing at a competitive pace. If you are unsure whether this session is the best fit for your current skill level, contact us or start with our Open Play All Levels to gauge your level of play. 

Above all, remember that good sportsmanship, respect for fellow players, and a welcoming attitude are expected from everyone on the courts.

Advanced Open Play is available 7 days a week.
Location: West side courts 23-26
Time: 7am till noon (Effective July 1, 7am till 10am)

FORMAT AND RULES

Place paddles in rack to rotate in: Place your paddle at the end of the paddle rack when you’re ready to play. Courts fill in order as players rotate off from left to right.  NEXT UP shows which paddles are next.

​Four on / four off is standard. After one game to 11 (win by 1), all four players exit and the next four enter. If fewer than four are waiting, you may play again — but rotate new players in whenever possible.

No holding courts for friends. Everyone waits and plays in the order their paddle was stacked. 

​Be a Good Partner & Opponent:

• Rotate with different players — Open Play is about variety and community.
• If you’re consistently struggling, explore sessions better suited to your current level.
• Keep games friendly and focused on fun — this is not tournament play.
• ​Encourage, don’t criticize. Everyone is here to enjoy the game.
  

Play fair. Play fast. Keep things fun and competitive.
