What is Pickleball?

Pickleball is a fun and fast-paced paddle sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and ping pong. It is played with a paddle and a plastic ball on a smaller court than traditional tennis.

Drop in play is similar to playing at a public court (except it’s way nicer at Paddle Up :-). Drop in play is not organized play, however normal pickleball etiquette is expected, such as paddle stacking, to share the courts.

There is a $10 daily guest fee for visitors playing on a members private court. Children under 16 do not pay guest fees. There is a maximum of 3 guest fees per court for members. Visitor (full price) court rentals do not have guest fees (this is included in the price $36/$44/hr)

We don’t put a limit on guests, but we recommend 4-8 people max to share a court for an hour or two. A typical game lasts 15 minutes and this allows for a good amount of play with some rest in between.
