Schedule & Registration
Youth pickleball across Montgomery County.
Seasons, weekly classes, and free evaluations for kids 6–16 at every level — Red, Orange, Green, and Yellow Ball. Courts stay small, so nobody stands in line.
Not sure where your player fits? Start with a free evaluation — we’ll place them on the right court and go from there.

Pick a date and reserve your spot.
One-hour drop-in slots. Courts stay small on purpose.

The Crew Pathway
From drop-in to your own 4-week crew.
Most parents start with one drop-in. After that we find your kid a crew of 3 others at the same level — same court, same time, every week.
Book a drop-in
Try a single session — one hour, 4-player cap. No commitment — see if the format clicks for your kid.
See open sessions →We form your crew
After your first session, Sam looks for 3 more kids at your level who can make the same day and court. When the crew is set, we text the group.
Lock in 4 weeks
One tap to save a card and auto-reserve the same slot for the next 4 weeks — same time, same court, same crew. Skip any week and we refund automatically. Stop the auto-reserve any time.
Same four kids every week. Consistency builds trust, trust builds risk-taking, risk-taking is how skills actually compound. We’d rather grow slow with a tight crew than fill a room with strangers.
