Coming Up
Three special ways to play, meet people, and make a night of it.
Designated Courts
Certain courts are set aside specifically for open play during designated hours. Players are free to join the line and rotate in.
Registration Limited
We keep registration numbers tight for open play so that you never have to wait long to play
Quick Games
Games are played to 11 points, winning team stays on, opponents rotate out each game.
Ladder Nights
Ladder nights are a fun way to mix with new players and compete to reach the Kings Court. Move up when you win and move down when you lose. Split partners every game.
Maximize Court Usage
Keep games moving by limiting the number of consecutive games a players can play to 2 games before rejoining the line.
What is Open Play?
Drop in, meet new people, and play. Open play is our rotating format where players join a line, hop on court, and rotate partners throughout the session. It's the best way to get reps in and grow your game — and your crew.
How do I choose a session level?
Read the live skill and format requirements for each session. Intermediate sessions may use a ladder format, and advanced sessions have their own eligibility.
Do I need to register in advance?
Register in advance because spaces are limited. Open play is included with all membership tiers; guests pay $20 per session, while special events may have separate pricing in their listings.
How does the format work?
Check the live session listing for the current format. Intermediate sessions may use a ladder format, while advanced sessions have their own eligibility.
What happens when it gets busy?
We limit the number of registrations so you always get to play your full time, there’s not much waiting around at Bozeman Classic Pickleball!
I’m new to pickleball—where should I start?
Start with a beginner clinic, private lesson, or beginner-friendly open play. No experience is needed for beginner open play.
What's the vibe like?
Friendly, welcoming, and competitive enough to be fun. Open play is designed for everyone to mix it up and rotate partners — come ready to meet people and keep it light. I met my best friend at Open Play.
Any etiquette I should know?
Three things: mix up your partners, keep it fun and sportsmanlike, and be ready when it's your turn. Pay attention to the line — games move fast.
