DO I NEED MY OWN PADDLE & BALLS?

We have plenty of paddles and balls to use if you don’t have your own. Rentals are free with your drop-in fee.

We do ask that you carry in your court shoes that you will wear on the court (no black soled shoes please). There are plenty of places to store your other shoes/bags, etc.

And don’t forget cash or your punch card (if you are a member). We do not accept debit/credit cards.

RESERVE A PRIVATE COURT

If you want to reserve a court for a private session, you’ll need to fill out a submission form. If a court is available, we will add your rental session to PlayTime Scheduler.
