Pickleball

We offer Pickleball game time to the community! You do not need to be a JCA member, or even be Jewish, to play Pickleball at the JCA. All are welcome to play! We offer Open Play hours on most Sundays at the JCA and seasonal Coached Play sessions when our coaches are available. Open Play is free for JCA members, but we charge a small fee per session for non-member players. Open play is $10 for a 2-hour session and $5 for JCA Members. Coached play is $20 per 2-hour session.

We use the scheduling app Spond for registration and to share the most up-to-date information about court availability. If you would like to play Pickleball at the JCA, please download the app and create a free account using this link:
