PAC also hosts tournaments and is home to the fastest growing pickleball community in New York City.
Whether you are just beginning your pickleball journey or are an experienced player looking to compete at higher levels, understanding your skill level is the first step to achieving your pickleball goals. By assessing your level, you can more easily select the right groups, sessions and tournaments to participate in.
Our Beginner Clinics are designed to teach the fundamentals of the game and help you get comfortable on the court! Our instructors are 5.0+ players who will guide you to the next level. During these classes, students will learn the proper technique to improve their shot selection and timing. They will also work on developing their strategic game plans to maximize points during matches.
Open play is a great way to meet people and make new friends while playing the sport you love! This is a fun, social environment where everyone plays in a round-robin format. The rules of pickleball are simple; serve goes to the side that won the last point and teams compete in a round-robin system in doubles or singles.
You can find open play times in the app and portal. Members may reserve courts in 1-hour and 1.5-hour increments. Nonmembers are welcome to join at a non-member guest fee. Guests are required to have an active credit card on file in order to book a court. Please leave enough time to put the nets away when you are done playing so other players can use the court.
When reserving courts in the app or portal you must have 2 or 4 people on your reservation for the court to show availability. If you are playing alone or with 1 person, please email us to let us know so we can place you in a group where you will be paired with another member.
Our facility features 8 outdoor hard courts with permanent nets. These courts are a favorite among our pickleball community and can be reserved by our members. Membership includes unlimited pickleball courts using our GymMaster online booking platform, 5 yearly guest passes and more!
This is a fun and social class for those that have never played pickleball. During the 5-week series, participants will learn the rules of the game, different grip options, forehand and backhand shots as well as the basic serves. Upon completion, participants will be ready for our open play sessions!
