What is Open Play?

Open play is a casual, competitive playing format where players show up and rotate into games without needing to organize groups, teams, or courts in advance.​

​

Open Play Courts #1 - 6 are shared between players of all ages and skill levels during the designated hours of 9 am - 12 noon and 6 pm - 9 pm on Monday thru Friday.

 

All other courts are general play and rotation into a game is not required.

​

How does Open Play work?

1. You arrive during the designated open play hours.

2. Put your paddle in the paddle rack to signal you're ready to play.

3. When a spot on the court opens up, the next four paddles go on to play.

4. If there are less than 4 people waiting, then "2 off, 2 on" - winners stay on and split.

5. If there are more than 4 people waiting, 4 off, 4 on. ​

 

Only players who are playig a game should be on the courts. Others should be outside the court.​​​​
