What to Expect
When you attend a Pickleball Play Day, expect to challenge yourself, make friends, and get some low impact exercise.
We divide courts based upon the skill level of players. One court is for new players learning the game. The second court is for players working on game play. The third court is for players competing in games. Every court has coaches and volunteers to assist players.
Upcoming Play Days
Every Adaptive Pickleball Play Day is FREE. We welcome all players with diverse
abilities
from beginner to advanced skill levels. Volunteer coaches are on the court to help teach people how to play and share competitive playing strategies. All equipment is provided from sport chairs to paddles to balls. Interested players just need to be ready to be active and have lots of fun.
Veterans Play Pickleball sessions are also listed below for the Military community.

Common Questions and Answers
Absolutely. Our volunteer coaches love teaching beginners how to play.
Wear athletic clothing and court shoes if possible. We’ll have paddles for you to use and we’ll also have sport wheelchairs if you want to use one. Most days we’ll have bottled drinks, but it would be smart for you to bring some water.
Generally, pickleball is a low impact form of exercise. You will need to move around some to hit the pickleball. We modify the rules to allow for two bounces of the ball which makes it easier for adaptive players to have longer rallies. If you are very athletic then you may play a faster, more active game.
Players of all ages attend.
