Open Play
What is open play?
Open play is a drop-in style session where players rotate and mix in to get games. It’s a great way to meet people and get more reps in a relaxed environment.
How does court rotation work?
Rotation details can vary depending on attendance and the session format. For the latest guidance, see the Play page.
Is open play weather dependent?
Yes. Because we play outdoors, sessions may be delayed or canceled due to weather or unsafe court conditions.
Leagues & Events

What is a ladder league?
Ladder leagues typically organize players by court, with movement up or down based on performance each week. Formats vary by season and league.
What if my partner doesn’t register for a partner league/event?
Partner leagues and events require both players to register and confirm. If a partner does not register within the stated window, the initial registrant may be removed to allow space for fully registered teams. See Club Policies for details.
