We have pickleball!
Program Overview
So what is this funny-named sport? The best way to describe pickleball is a combination of badminton and ping pong, but with its own unique paddle and ball. Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in America right now, with 19.8 million Americans enjoying it at any given time. This is a highly social, fun sport that can be as casual or competitive as you would like!
Our program has a range of friendly players that meet throughout the whole week. We have sessions every day of the week almost 365 days a year for all skill levels from beginner to competitive. Please find more details below about how to join and enjoy our program all year round, especially if you are brand new to the sport!
Outdoor Season Is Coming!
Outdoor season begins April 1, 2026 outside at the Adams Playground courts located at 71 Union Street. Outdoor season means that the "default" location for pickleball is the outdoor courts, and pickleball will only be inside for undesirable weather conditions or due to the high school tennis schedule at the courts.
We will be welcoming drop-ins back into our program as of April 1st using our new 5-visit punch pass system. Order your punch pass online and then come into the office to pick it up. For information about the 5-visit punch pass system, please review the informational handout linked at the bottom of this page.
Parking for Indoor Play: Parking is currently on the SIDE of the PCC building due to the mud in front of the building. Since this area is not an official parking lot yet, please be courteous to each other and try to park in a way to allow as many vehicles as possible. Please use the side entrance with the ramp.

Registration & Sign-In At The Session: Please register & pay for pickleball online prior to playing with a membership or punch pass. There will be a binder inside the orange box or in the gym with pages of sign-in sheets where you will find your name and check it off. If your name is not on the sign-in sheet, that means you are a punch pass holder and should simply sign in with your name and date.
Signing Up for Sessions: Our program uses a website called Playtime Scheduler to sign up for sessions since we have limited space during the winter. Create a free account here, and then begin to sign up for the sessions you intend to play at. We can only take 14-15 people per indoor session (unlimited for outdoor sessions), so please be mindful and considerate of this. If you sign up for a session and can no longer attend, please take your name off the list so someone on the waiting list could have a chance at the spot.
Guests:
Guests are welcome during the outdoor season. Guests are not free. You must purchase a punch pass for your guest, or your guest can purchase their own punch pass. Guests also must be signed up on Playtime Scheduler.
