This session is designed for players who want a relaxed, social hit. All skill levels are welcome! Beginners with no prior Pickleball experience are encouraged to attend our Learn to Play and Coaching sessions before joining Social Play.

Kings and Queen Style rules: Below

Court Structure

• Top Court = King/Queen Court
• Then Court 2, Court 3, etc.
• Winners move up one court each round
• Losers move down one court each round
• On the Top Court, winners stay; losers move down
• After moving, winners split sides and losers split sides before the next game

Teams

• Fixed partners (doubles) or
• Scramble partners each round
• Works for all skill levels and any group size

Scoring

• 10‑minute games
• When the timer ends, the higher score wins
• If tied → play one final rally
• Standard pickleball scoring during play

Reserves

• If there is a reserve, they swap with the lowest court (e.g., Court 6)
• Swap happens after all players have moved based on win/loss
• A player can only be reserve once, unless they choose extra time off
• If all four players on the lowest court have already been reserves, move to the next court up to find someone who hasn’t
• Ensures fair rotation and prevents anyone being taken off repeatedly unless they request it
