Play Format

  • Players check in at the Front Desk and go to the courts they are assigned based on skill level.
  • If there are 4 players (the minimum) they should play, and winners split. So there is rotation.
  • If there are more than 4 players, winners stay and split, and losing team leaves, next two come on.
  • Winners can stay on for 3 games, at maximum. If they win the 3rd, then rotate off.
  • Games to 11, win by 2.

 House Rules

  •  Good sportsmanship is expected and required.
  • The team closest to the tennis net serves first.
  • No fighting, no throwing paddles, no cheating.
  • Line calls for your own side of the court.
  • New balls are available for purchase at the Front Desk.
  • Leave the court tidy and clean up after yourself.

Sign-Up Procedure and Fees

  • Request For Placement and Registration: All players must complete a request for placement at https://www.stadiumtennisnyc.com/stadium_pickleball_program/
  • Weekly Sign Up By Email: After you have completed step 1 above, you may sign up for a particular session by emailing reservations@stadiumtennisnyc.com with your full name, level and desired day and time slot for the upcoming week’s schedule at least 48 hours prior to your Open Play booking request. Please plan ahead and don’t wait until the last minute!
  •  Pickleball Courts Assigned By Level:  There will be four pickleball courts set up for different skill levels depending on the signups.  Maximum signups are 6 players per court within a skill level.
  • Credit Card on File:  All players are required to have a credit card on file with our front desk and sign a liability waiver.
  • Player Minimum:  Four (4) player minimum required to run the Open Play at each level.  If there are fewer than 4 sign-ups, we will notify you by email and you will not be charged for the session.
  • Fees:  $30/person for each 2 hour session. A package of 20 sessions is $500.
  • Priority Booking for Stadium Pickleball League Members and Package Holders– Packages are the best deal and also gives you priority booking along with Stadium Pickleball League Members for a given day and time– meaning you are less likely to be closed out of a sold-out session.

We look forward to seeing you on the Stadium pickleball courts!
