Potential Programming Schedule:
Palace of Pickleball is planning a dynamic weekly schedule designed to serve players of all levels, from beginner clinics and social open play to leagues, challenge courts, and private lessons. Programming ideas include weekday morning and midday open play, prime-time evening leagues and clinics, and weekends filled with level-based open play, rotating events, and family or social sessions—all thoughtfully balanced to keep games competitive and wait times reasonable. (This schedule is not set in stone and may be subject to change.)
Weekday mornings
Monday–Friday 7–11 am
• 3 courts: All-level open play (cap attendance to keep waits reasonable).

Notes: Will use an app waitlist and group by skill where possible to keep games competitive.
