Join us for our level 1 open play – the perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in recreational pickleball action, connect with local players, and experience the joy of the game. Our level 1 play is crafted for anyone who is looking to jump into playing pickleball and already has a handle on all the rules. If you know how to keep score, what the kitchen is, but aren’t quite hitting ATPs then this is the level for you. 

Here's what you need to know:

• We keep score, but don’t worry, it’s all about having fun! No scores will be entered in DUPR
• During our open play session there will be no more than 6 players per court, meaning you will be playing at least 2/3rd of the session.
• Feel free to bring a friend along, but there is no guarantee you will be pickleballing with them the whole session. Open play is a great place to meet and play with other people playing the sport. If you have a DUPR, your rating must be a 3.0 or below.

What makes open play special at the Austin Pickle Ranch:

Rotation: Games and rotations are efficiently managed through our preset rotation system, ensuring everyone gets a chance to play. No more waiting in long lines while you are itching for your turn. 

Outcome-Free Zone: Open play is tailor-made for those who want to forge new friendships, engage in enjoyable games, and leave the stress of game outcomes behind. Since we group our play by skill and experience, you’ll get to play in a low-stress environment. 

So come on over and embrace the open-play spirit. It's time to connect, have a blast, and enjoy the pickleball vibe like never before!
