What is an Open Play on Main Court

Open play is a casual and inclusive recreational pickleball setting where players of all skill levels can come together and participate freely. These sessions offer a relaxed environment distinct from the structure of tournaments or leagues, allowing players to enjoy matches, practice, and connect with various opponents.

Typically, open play operates on a rotation system to ensure everyone gets an opportunity to participate, fostering a welcoming and enjoyable experience. Open play can be hosted at private clubs, which may require a guest fee or membership to join. It’s important to review the organizer’s details and reach out to them directly if it’s your first time attending or if you need clarification.

On Main Court, any user can create an open play session, so be aware that the accuracy of the information provided by organizers cannot be guaranteed. You should check times with the Open play location before heading out to play.
