General information:

ADVANCED SOCIAL

Welcome to Goodwin Pickleball

Good games. Good people. Goodwin Pickleball.

Expect competitive games, plenty of intensity and players who love their pickleball without losing the friendly, welcoming atmosphere our socials are built around.

Come on your own or with friends,  everyone joins the rotation, everyone gets a game and everyone is part of the group.

Experienced visitors are very welcome.

Is this the right social for me?

Advanced Social is designed for experienced players who are comfortable with fast-paced, competitive and strategic match play.

Players attending this session need a DUPR of 3.0+ or to have been graded at Advanced level by our DUPR coach.

This grading isn't about excluding players,  it's how we create consistently competitive games and make sure everyone who books into a session gets the level of play they're expecting.

If you're not quite at Advanced yet, we'd love to have you in our Intermediate Social while you work towards moving up.

There may be an Intermediate Social running on other courts at the same time. Each social has been grouped by playing level to create enjoyable, well-matched games, so please stay within the rotation for the social you've booked into, even if numbers aren't perfectly even.

Players who don't yet meet the Advanced grading requirements may have their booking moved/refunded so that the integrity of each playing level is maintained.

Rates are subject to change.

Wet Weather

If we need to cancel due to wet weather or unsafe conditions, we'll notify everyone through OpenSports as soon as we can.

If the session is cancelled before play begins, you'll receive a credit for a future social session.

If play begins but is interrupted by rain, a credit will be provided if less than 30 minutes of play was possible. Once 30 minutes or more has been played, the session is considered complete.

Please don't rely on OpenSports private messages for weather updates as these aren't always monitored immediately. Unless you receive a cancellation notification from us, please assume your social is going ahead.

Cancellations

We have a 4-hour cancellation policy for Social Play.

Pickleball is a doubles game and numbers matter! Late cancellations and no-shows can leave other players without a full game, so if you cancel within four hours of the session starting, a credit won't be provided. Thank you for looking out for your fellow players.
