Cleveland Pickleball Beginner's Guide

We love when people reach out and ask how they get started as a beginner Pickleball player in Cleveland.

To help answer your questions, we put together a comprehensive beginner's guide.

Our guide covers:

• How to get started
• Basic equipment
• Best places to play as a beginner (in Cleveland)
• General rules of the game

Let us know if you have any tips or places to play for beginners that we may have missed. We are open to feedback so that we can make this the best beginner's guide for Pickleball in Cleveland! 

Weekly Indoor Pickleball Schedule

We spent some time turning the Weekly Indoor Pickleball Schedule google doc that Rick Warsinskey* maintains into a dynamic database that you can sort, filter and search.

This just gives players another option to hopefully find a place to play near where they live.

Where do you find this? Visit our Places to Play page and scroll down.

How does it work?

1. You can click on the small arrows next to each weekday and it expands to show all of the different locations and time's.
2. Click on a column header arrow and filter or sort for just the location, start time or whether you need a membership

*Shoutout to Rick, a Cleveland pickleball ambassador, for maintaining such a comprehensive schedule!
