If I have never played, what is the best option for me?
For those that are just starting out, we recommend grabbing a friend and registering for an “Intro to Pickleball” lesson. These classes are a great way to get a step-by-step introduction to pickleball, a basic overview of the rules, and scoring.
If you’d like a little more personal attention or to develop a few more skills, Courtside Kitchen offers tailored lessons. Whether you want a private session, or a small group of friends of similar skill level, we will accommodate your needs.

Are dogs allowed?
Courtside Kitchen prohibits bringing pets (a domestic animal kept for pleasure or companionship) to work or having a pet in Courtside Kitchen-controlled buildings and premises, with the exception of service animals for a person with disabilities.

What if there is bad weather?
Courtside Kitchen believes first and foremost in the safety of its patrons. The courts may close in rainy weather or the court conditions are so that they are not safe to play. Being too hot or too cold does not qualify as inclement weather.
