Good to know
Open play: Open play is a scheduled session where players show up and rotate into games, usually without needing a partner. Some venues charge a fee or ask you to sign up first.
First come, first served: First come, first served means public courts can't be booked: players wait for an open court and rotate in.
Drop-in: Drop-in pickleball means paying a small fee for one visit instead of buying a membership.
Membership: A membership is a monthly or yearly plan at a club that includes court time or open play.
Dedicated courts: Dedicated pickleball courts are built only for pickleball, with permanent nets and lines. Shared courts have pickleball lines painted or taped on a tennis or basketball court.
