Frequently Asked Questions
Guests: Guests are FREE members who do not have any recurring fees–they’re simply pay-as-you-play members. Guests do not receive any discounts for scheduled events or drop-in play and pay a higher rate per hour for court reservations.
Flex: Flex membership is geared more for those who want to play in scheduled events (round-robins, drop-in play, etc) but may not be as likely to reserve courts for individual play. Flex members pay a discounted, recurring membership rate. They receive discounts for scheduled events and enjoy FREE drop-in play. They pay a discounted hourly rate for court reservations.
Classic: Classic membership grants the highest level of access to the club. It is for players who are interested in participating in scheduled events and/or are regularly reserving courts for individual play. Classic members pay a recurring membership rate and receive discounts for scheduled events and enjoy FREE drop-in play as well as FREE court reservations.
Technically, no. Although we consider guests to be members of the club, guests do not pay a recurring membership fee–they’re simply pay-as-you-play members. We welcome players of all levels and backgrounds, and offer both drop-in sessions and court reservations to guests. Simply click on Reserve a Court. You will be required to register and sign our Terms of Use waiver if you haven’t previously done so. It doesn’t cost anything to register.
Mini events are smaller-scale competitions held throughout the week. They are designed to provide players with a fun and competitive atmosphere to showcase their skills. Some events held regularly are Round Robins, Cream of the Crop, and Moneyball.
Drop-in play is a scheduled session with an open format. Players must register for a spot in the drop-in session but it doesn’t require an individual court reservation. Registered players simply show up and rotate in and out to mix and match with other players. You can come with a partner, as a group, or even by yourself. It is a great way to meet new players, get some exercise, and have fun!
There will be 185+ hours of drop-in play scheduled each month. Drop-in play is FREE for both Flex and Classic members.

All players need to have either an active membership or pay as a guest to receive a valid entrance code. Observers who do not play are allowed without a fee. As agreed in the Terms of Use and posted at the facility, a violation fee will be charged to the account of anyone granting access to another player without a valid entrance code–also known as piggybacking, which is not allowed.
A valid entrance code will be sent via email or text when you make a court reservation.
