Courts
Find a place to play, today.
Our verified court database is being built. Until then, here is exactly how to find courts and open play anywhere.
Five ways to find a court this week
- 1
Your city's parks & rec site
Search for 'pickleball' on the parks department page. Most list dedicated courts, converted tennis courts and open play hours.
- 2
Club and community apps
Local pickleball groups organize on Facebook, Meetup, TeamReach and Playtime Scheduler. Search your town's name plus 'pickleball'.

USA Pickleball ambassadors
USA Pickleball has a volunteer ambassador network by region who know every court and every open-play session in their area.
- 4
Tennis clubs and YMCAs
Many now line courts for pickleball and run beginner sessions with loaner paddles.

Ask at any court
Pickleball players are unusually welcoming. Show up at open play, ask to rotate in, and you will have a regular game by the end of the week.
Open-play etiquette in four lines
- Stack your paddle in the queue; that is the line.
- Games to 11, winners stay for one more or everyone rotates, depending on the court.
- Call the score loudly, call lines honestly, paddle-tap after.
- New? Say so. Someone will explain the local rules.
