What is open play in pickleball?

Open play is the drop-in format where players rotate partners and opponents instead of pre-arranging matches. You add your paddle to a rack at the court, and the next four paddles up rotate onto the court when a game ends. Most rec courts run open play several days a week.

Do I need to bring a partner to open play?

No. Open play is built for players who show up alone. The rotation puts you on a court with three other players you may have never met. Bring a paddle, a ball if you have one, water, and a friendly attitude.

Most public-park open play is free. Rec center and club open play often charges a $5 to $20 drop-in fee. Each facility's listing on our directory shows pricing where we have confirmed it.
