A Family membership includes 2 adults (18+) and up to 4 youth living in the same household. We define youth as anyone 17 or younger, or someone 18 or older who is still in high school and lives in the household. Once a child graduates from high school, we consider them an adult, and you can add them as either an Individual Adult member or a Plus 1 Adult member.

Check out our Open Court Schedule to see available play times.

View Open Court Schedule

Patrons may request to lower one goal, depending on facility usage. If we lower a goal, the child’s parent or guardian must stay present during play.

You may coach or give instruction during open court times as long as you don’t monopolize the courts. Patrons may not reserve or hold a court for practices, coaching, or training. You may use props, but only if they don’t create a safety risk or disrupt other patrons’ experiences.

We post an open court calendar on our website that shows all scheduled activities. Once we post the schedule, patrons expect us to hold those activities as listed. For that reason, we only make changes if we need to add more space for existing activities on the same day—such as adding courts for basketball, pickleball, or volleyball to accommodate high demand.

Youth ages 10 and up may use the courts without an adult. Children ages 9 and under must stay under the supervision of an adult (16+) while on the courts. Accompanying adults must either be members or purchase a Day Pass.

All members can request a fitness orientation, which includes a simple overview of the equipment and our policies.
