FAQs

Our courts are on track to open early Q1 2027. Founding Memberships open for pre-sale in October 2026, limited to our first 200 members. Follow us on social media or join our mailing list for updates.

Pickleball Junction is located at 3175 Wildflower Dr, Bryan, TX 77802.

We're planning to be open Monday through Saturday from 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM, and Sunday from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM.

Absolutely. Pickleball Junction is built for every skill level, from your very first dink to competitive tournament play. Our Pickleball 101 class is a great starting point for beginners, and our certified instructors offer group clinics covering fundamentals, strategy, and drills for all levels.

Open Play is drop-in pickleball. You don’t need a partner, a group, or a court reservation. Just show up during an Open Play session and you’ll be mixed into games with other players who are there.

Games are usually doubles (2 players against 2) and only take a few minutes, so players rotate on and off the courts. When a game ends, the next players waiting step on for their turn. You’ll play with and against different people all session, which makes it a great way to get more games in and meet other players.

Open Play is best for players who already know the rules and scoring and have played some organized games before. If you’re brand new to pickleball, start with our Pickleball 101 class or a beginner clinic. You’ll learn the basics there and be ready to jump into Open Play.

Planned Open Play sessions are Morning (7–10 AM), Mid-day (12–3 PM), and Evening/Primetime (6–9 PM). Members play free: Early Bird members during the Morning and Mid-day sessions (7–10 AM and 12–3 PM daily), and Premier members during all three sessions (7–10 AM, 12–3 PM, and 6–9 PM). Non-members can drop in for $15 per session off-peak or $20 peak. Peak is the Evening session on weekdays and every session on Saturday and Sunday; weekday Morning and Mid-day sessions are off-peak. No paddle? You can rent one for $5.

Yes! You’re welcome to stack together as a group of four. Here’s how we keep it fair for everyone:

1. Stack at the end of the line. All four paddles together, at the back. Never in the middle.
2. All four players present. No saving spots and no placeholder paddles for friends on the way.
3. Take the next open court. Pass on an open court and you go back to the end of the line.
4. Busy night? Mix it up. When the line is 3 or more stacks deep, play one game as your group, then split into the regular rotation for at least one game before re-forming.
5. One game per turn, to 11. No “one more” while others are waiting.
6. Want to play only with your crew? Reserve a court at the front desk or in the app.

During skill-level sessions, everyone in your group needs to be within that session’s skill range. Staff and court monitors have the final call. See the full rules in our Code of Conduct.

Yes. Everyone who books a court, buys a package, or plays in our facility in any way must sign our waiver before playing. That includes members, drop-in players, and guests.

You’ll sign it electronically in the PodPlay app when you book a session or sign up for a membership. Once signed, it stays in effect for your future visits.

Bringing a guest? Guests can sign the waiver in the PodPlay app, scan the QR code displayed at our front desk, or have our front desk staff add them and sign at check-in.

Players under 18 need a parent or legal guardian to sign for them.

Want to read it first? Read the full waiver.

Wear comfortable athletic clothes. Closed-toe athletic shoes with non-marking soles are required to play on our courts. Indoor court or tennis shoes work best; running shoes don’t grip as well for the quick side-to-side moves pickleball needs.

Bring water or a sports drink to stay hydrated. Please keep it on the sidelines, off the court surface itself, since spills can stain the courts.

No paddle? No problem. You can rent one for $5, and balls are available for $3 each.

First visit? Make sure you’ve signed our waiver. See “Do I need to sign a waiver?” above.

No. Outside food and drinks aren’t allowed, with one exception: you’re welcome to bring water or a sports drink for play.

Please keep all drinks, including water and sports drinks, on the sidelines and off the court surface itself. Spills can stain the courts.

No membership required! Court rentals are available at $25/hour off-peak and $40/hour peak, and Open Play drop-in sessions are $15 off-peak per person and $20 peak per person.

Memberships are the best value for players who’ll be on the courts regularly for Open Play, leagues, clinics and more. If you’re planning to play less often than that, paying as you go may be the better fit for you, and you’re always welcome to rent a court whenever your schedule allows. Either way, we can’t wait to see you on the courts!

General memberships start at $60/month (Early Bird, free Open Play 7am-10am and 12pm-3pm daily) or $110/month (Premier, free Open Play 7am-10am, 12pm-3pm, and 6pm-9pm), both with a one-time $45 initiation fee. Founding Memberships, limited to our first 200 members, offer additional perks at the same monthly rates with no initiation fee. Varsity, our student membership, is $80/month for current college students with Premier Open Play hours and no initiation fee. See our Membership Guide for every perk, rate and policy side by side.

Yes! Family memberships are available on either our Early Bird or Premier plan, for up to 2 adults and their children.

The first adult pays the regular monthly rate for the plan you choose ($60 Early Bird or $110 Premier). A second adult is 50% off ($30 or $55), each of the first 3 children is $20/month, and each additional child is $25/month. A family of five is $150/month on Early Bird or $225/month on Premier. A one-time $45 initiation fee applies to each family membership.

Everyone on the membership gets the perks and court reservation window of the plan you choose: 10 days in advance for Early Bird, 14 days for Premier. Court reservations are limited to 6 people per court, so larger families will need a second court. See “Is there a limit on how many people can be on a court?” below.

A child who is 18 or older must have their own membership.

Family memberships are general memberships, not Founding Memberships. Email info@pickleball-junction.com to set one up.

Yes! Anyone can play any time we’re open: Monday through Saturday 7 AM to 11 PM, and Sunday 7 AM to 9 PM. Your membership decides which Open Play sessions are free and how much you save on everything else.

Open Play runs three times a day: Morning (7–10 AM), Mid-day (12–3 PM), and Evening/Primetime (6–9 PM). Outside those sessions, including 10 AM–12 PM, 3–6 PM, and after 9 PM, you can reserve a court with your member discount. Court rates are per court, not per person, with up to 6 players per court.

Member discounts on court reservations: 25% off for Early Bird Founding, 50% off for Premier Founding, 10% off for general Early Bird and Varsity, and 20% off for general Premier.

For example, a Premier Founding member who wants to play at 4 PM on a weekday can reserve a court for $20/hour (50% off the $40 peak rate).

Early Bird members get the Morning and Mid-day sessions free. To join the Evening/Primetime session, pay the drop-in fee with your member discount: $15 for Early Bird Founding members (25% off the $20 peak drop-in) or $18 for general Early Bird members (10% off).

Premier and Varsity members get all three sessions free. After the Evening session ends at 9 PM, you can reserve a court until we close at 11 PM, Monday through Saturday.

Monthly memberships include a 90-day minimum commitment, which means a minimum of 3 monthly payments. You can cancel any time after your first 30 days by sending written notice to info@pickleball-junction.com.

Your membership ends 30 days after we receive your notice, or when your 90-day commitment is complete, whichever is later. If those 30 days end partway through a billing period, your membership runs through the end of that billing period.

Tip: If you’d like your membership to end right at 90 days, send your written notice by day 60.

Yes, for two reasons, and pauses are free.

• Medical pause: any member can pause for 1 to 3 months at a time with a doctor’s note for injury, surgery or extended illness, even during your first 90 days. It can be extended with an updated note.
• Summer pause: Varsity members can pause for up to 3 months between mid-May and mid-August. Request it by May 1.

Email info@pickleball-junction.com at least 7 days before your next billing date. You’re not charged while paused, and Founding members keep their Founding price and perks. Annual members: a medical pause adds the paused months to the end of your membership year, so you still get the full 12 months you paid for. Pauses aren’t available for travel or busy seasons. See Pausing your membership for the details.

Email your cancellation to info@pickleball-junction.com. A 30-day written notice is required: your membership ends 30 days after we receive your email and runs through the end of the billing period those 30 days land in. You’ll keep full access, and continue to be billed, until then.

Monthly memberships also have a 90-day minimum commitment. If you cancel during your first 90 days, your membership ends when your commitment is complete or 30 days after your notice, whichever is later. See “What does the 90-day minimum commitment mean?” above.

Annual memberships are paid in full up front and are non-refundable.

Yes.  Your membership includes access to Open Play, where courts are shared among members as they rotate in and out.  Your dues cover access to that shared pool of court time along with your other membership perks.  A private court reservation allows you and your group exclusive use of that space, which is billed separately at a DISCOUNT based on your membership level.  It's like a gym membership that includes group classes, but private training sessions are an extra cost because you are booking a dedicated resource, not sharing one. 

Yes. Up to 6 people can play on a single court.

Why 6? A pickleball game is played with 4 players (doubles), so 6 lets 2 players sit out and rotate in after each game. Everyone gets plenty of play time without long waits, and courts don’t get crowded, which keeps play safe for everyone on and around them.

The limit also helps us keep an accurate count of everyone in the building. The City sets occupancy limits for our facility, and we’re required to track how many people are here at any time.

Groups of 7 or more need to reserve a second court. For example, a group of 8 needs 2 courts. This applies to every court reservation, including family memberships.

Yes! Members and non-members can rent a ball machine for solo or two-player practice. Every machine session is booked together with a court, and the court is charged separately at your normal court rate.

When: Monday–Friday, 7 AM–4 PM, and Saturday & Sunday, 3–6 PM, subject to court availability.

Ball machine price, per hour:

• Non-members: $20
• General Early Bird and Varsity members: $18
• General Premier members: $16
• Early Bird Founding members: $15
• Premier Founding members: 4 free hours each month for your first 12 months (unused hours don’t roll over), then $10

Booking: Book the machine and a court together, up to 3 days ahead for non-members, 10 days for Early Bird and Varsity members, or 14 days for Premier members. One 60-minute machine session per person per day, with up to 2 players per session and no extra charge for the second player. A card on file and a signed waiver are required.

First time? Our staff will give you a short walkthrough before your first session. Cancel at least 24 hours ahead for a full refund. Late cancellations and no-shows are charged, and for Premier Founding members they also use one free hour.

Safety: Never stand or walk in front of the machine while it’s on, and children under 16 need adult supervision on a machine court.

PodPlay is the court booking and smart court technology we use at Pickleball Junction. When we open, you’ll use PodPlay to book your court: pick a date and time, and your court is reserved.

PodPlay also powers our instant replays. Cameras at the courts record your games as you play, so you can watch a great rally or a close line call again right after it happens, no extra equipment needed. See “What are instant replays?” below for more.

Instant replays let you watch a point again right after it happens. Our courts use PodPlay replay technology, with cameras that record your game as you play. After a great rally, a close line call, or a shot you just have to see again, you can pull up the replay and watch it back.

It’s a fun way to relive your best shots, settle those “was it in or out?” moments, and spot what you can improve. Founding Members get instant replays free.
