Welcome to Volo Pickleball Pickup!

Pickup/ Mini Open Play: This self-reffed pickup is the best way to practice your pickleball skills and meet fellow fans of the sport! These pickups tend to be 60-90 minutes on 1-2 courts perfect for our Split n Stay format, where the winning team splits up and takes a new partner from off the court. This rotation helps level set players with different skillsets. Games are first to 11 points

Standard Open Play: Feel free to arrive anytime between [INSERT DESIGNATED TIMES]. Open Plays have extended capacities and are formatted to maximize rotational play and socializing! While waiting for a court to open up, the players take their paddles and set them in line for a court. If you win, you stay on, but winning team stays on for a max of 2 games. After a game is completed, designated players leave the court and the paddles next in line hop on. Be prepared to play on multiple courts with and against different players! If able, we can designate skill levels to specific courts. The direction you place your paddle indicates your skill level. Find your staff onsite to get more information! Games are first to 11 points

Split n Stay Open Play: Feel free to arrive anytime between 6:00pm - 7:30pm. Open Plays have extended capacities and are formatted to maximize rotational play and socializing!
