Pickleball

This schedule is always subject to change, but we anticipate that it will remain in effect until Summer Camp begins in June 2025.  Please note that any new initiatives will be announced in advance. Please make sure our system has your updated email and check our various platforms for communication regularly. Note that pickleball offerings will be reduced as usual during Summer Camp.

All Pickleball offerings, including Open Play, are ONLY available for West Morris Area YMCA Members.  Starting September 10th, guests and Nationwide members will no longer be able to play.

Annual Program Registration will be required to participate in Open Play. All participants must register for the Pickleball - Open Play. There is no fee for the registration, and it only needs to be completed once per year. This will provide us with participant registration information and will facilitate better communication. You do not need to register for specific days and times. 

Beginning September 11^th, evaluations for NEW players/members will be held on Wednesdays at 11:00 am. These sessions will cover pickleball basics, balance assessments, and will allow you to join Open Play. There is a one-time $10 fee for the evaluation, and it is available only to West Morris Area YMCA members.

During the first few weeks of September, Balance Assessments will be performed by our certified Health & Wellness staff.  While we recognize many of you have been playing for quite some time, we know that accidents can and do happen.  Having a baseline balance test will help to keep everyone safe and free from balance related injury.

Group Lessons will resume in October. Individuals can sign up for monthly (approximately 4) lessons.  This is available for individuals at all levels wishing to improve their play. The fee is $20 a month.  Registration will open on the 15^th of the prior month. Lessons will be held on Fridays at 11:00 am and are for West Morris Area YMCA members only.

As per your request, beginning In October West Morris Area YMCA members will be able to reserve court time on Tuesdays from 8:00–9:30am. We may expand availability based on gym schedule and demand. Members can make reservations up to one week in advance. There is a $30 fee for reservations.  For more detailed information about our reservation policies, please refer to the registration page.

Paddles and pickleballs will be available for use at the Welcome Center.  You will need to provide collateral which will be returned upon our receipt of the equipment.
