We're transitioning our pickleball scheduling from online sign-ups to open play! This allows you to drop in and play with others present at the time. Should there be more players than available courts, simply place your paddle on the table. After each game, the winning team remains but splits, and the next two players in line join in for the next game. We're removing the online sign-up feature, so feel free to come by on Wednesdays, anytime between 6 and 8PM to join in the fun.
