*Member discount applies to court reservations, extra Open Play sessions, tournaments, clinics and the ball machine. Founding Memberships are limited to the first 200 members. Early Bird, Premier and Varsity general memberships are coming soon.

Open Play

Open Play runs three times a day: Morning (7–10 AM), Mid-day (12–3 PM) and Evening/Primetime (6–9 PM). Early Bird memberships include Morning and Mid-day. Premier and Varsity include all three.

Want to play a session your plan doesn’t include? Join it with the drop-in fee at your member discount. For example, an Early Bird Founding member pays $15 instead of $20 for the Evening session.

Court reservations

Your membership includes Open Play, where courts are shared. Reserving a private court is billed separately at your member discount. Rates are per court, per hour, with up to 6 players per court.

Book up to 14 days ahead with Premier, or 10 days ahead with Early Bird and Varsity. Want to play between sessions or after Open Play ends? Here’s how.

Guest passes

• Bring a guest to Open Play for free: 1 per month with Early Bird and Varsity, 2 per month with Premier.
• Your guest can be anyone, and it can be a different person each time.
• Guest passes don’t roll over. Unused passes expire at the end of the month.

Free clinics

Early Bird Founding members get 1 free clinic, and Premier Founding members get 2.

• Use them on any clinic priced up to $20, such as Pickleball 101, Junior Pickleball 101 or a Drill Clinic. Multi-week programs like Junction Academy and Junior Junction Academy aren’t included.
• Use your free clinics within your first 12 months of membership.
• They’re for you only and can’t be given to guests or family members.
• Cancel at least 24 hours ahead to keep your free clinic. A no-show uses it.
• A free clinic covers one clinic, with no leftover credit if the clinic costs less than $20.
• Let us know you’re using a free clinic when you sign up and we’ll apply it.

Ball machine

The ball machine is available Monday–Friday, 7 AM–4 PM and Saturday & Sunday, 3–6 PM, subject to court availability. It’s booked together with a court, and the court is charged at your member court rate.

• One 60-minute machine session per member per day, with up to 2 players and no charge for the second player.
• Cancel at least 24 hours ahead. Late cancellations and no-shows are charged, and for Premier Founding members they also use one free hour.

If you join within the last 6 weeks of a semester, your commitment runs through the end of the following semester. After that, your membership continues month to month.
• Home for the summer? Pause your membership for free. See Pausing.

Billing & your account

• Memberships are billed monthly. Founding members can also pay annually: $720 a year for Early Bird, or $1,210 a year for Premier (pay for 11 months, get 1 month free). Annual memberships are paid in full up front and are non-refundable.
• All memberships are per person. Family memberships are available on general Early Bird and Premier plans.
• Monthly memberships have a 90-day minimum commitment. Varsity uses a semester commitment instead.
• To cancel, email info@pickleball-junction.com. A 30-day written notice is required, and your membership runs through the end of the billing period those 30 days land in. More about canceling.

Pausing your membership

You can pause your membership for two reasons. Pauses are free.

• To request a pause, email info@pickleball-junction.com at least 7 days before your next billing date. Pauses start and end on a billing date.
• You’re not charged while paused. Open Play, member discounts and guest passes are on hold, and guest passes don’t build up.
• 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.
• Founding members keep their Founding price and perks when they return. Premier Founding’s 12 months of free ball machine time are put on hold too, so you don’t lose hours.
• Your membership restarts automatically when the pause ends, or email us to come back early.
• Pauses aren’t available for travel or busy seasons. You can cancel with 30 days’ notice and rejoin later.

House rules

• Everyone who plays signs our waiver first.
• Closed-toe athletic shoes with non-marking soles are required.
• Water and sports drinks are welcome courtside but must stay off the court surface. Spills can stain the courts.
• Everyone follows our Member & Player Code of Conduct, including the Open Play group rules.
