Socializing after play is encouraged!
Members have priority to register for all lessons, programs, and open play sessions.
An annual pickleball membership is available for $85. Each evening session is $15 per player. As the play is drop-in round robin format, rotation of players throughout the courts is required after each game to promote social interaction and variety of game play. We require a registration and payment completed in advance for all programming. If you have an RFL Simsbury tennis membership, you do not need an additional pickleball membership to participate in pickleball.
