Common questions
Do I need to register for drop-in pickleball?
No. Drop-in means walk in, pay at the desk, and play. A few of the busiest sessions use a first-come signup sheet at the door.
Are paddles provided?
Most centres have a small number of loaner paddles, but bring your own if you can. Decent starter paddles are $40-$60 at any sporting goods store.
What skill level are drop-in sessions?
Mixed. Some centres run separate beginner and intermediate sessions, check the schedule. Daytime hours skew quieter and more beginner-friendly.
