New To Pickleball? Start Here

You do not need a membership, a partner, or any experience. Here is the path we recommend for new players:

1. Create A Free Non-Member Account. Download The Pickle Lodge app and choose your location. A waiver and a card on file are required.
2. Take A Pickleball 1-0-1 Clinic. It covers the basics, and you can repeat it as many times as you like before moving on.
3. Try Coached Open Play (2.0+). An instructor guides you through rotation etiquette and gives light coaching while you play real games.
4. Move Into Skill-Divided Open Play. Once scoring, the kitchen rules, and a reliable serve (about 75% in) feel solid, you are ready.
5. Consider A Membership. Only once you are clearly hooked — memberships lower court and Open Play fees and extend your booking window.

Complimentary paddles and balls are available at the front desk. Ask any team member for a tour, and tell us your experience level so we can suggest the right next step.
