Frequently Asked Questions:

  • Do I have to be a member to play?

    We just opened…So for now, we have a lot of drop-in availability.

    However, people who buy membership will receive 3 weeks advance booking vs. 7 days for drop-ins. We expect that by winter, there will be no availability for drop-ins.

  • I've never played pickleball! Where do I start?

    Register for our Free Intro to Pickleball class under Events.

    "Pickup/Open Play" is another great option. In this format, players show up and play with random partners. Players play games, mi up partners, socialize, creating a fun, dynamic environment.

  • Tell me about the courts??

    Happy to… we spent 6 months planning out and installing them, to get them PERFECT.

    Our courts are regulation size, with 5 feet between courts and 4 feet to each wall. The material is CushionMaster 2, a CourtMaster professional play surface.

    We repaved the entire play area with 3” of concrete. It is perfectly level, has no dead spots and may the best play surface in Central MA.

  • What is a pickleball rating? How do I know mine?

    Pickleball uses a rating scale from 2-8 to ensure that play is competitive and fun for players of all levels. A player from 2-3 is generally relatively new to pickleball or plays infrequently. A rating of 3-5 can be used to describe someone who plays pickleball regularly and is well-versed with the rules of the game. Rankings from 5 or higher are used to describe the top level of competitors, often playing at competitive regional or professional events. To estimate your personal rating, click HERE.
