Our Indoor courts use the Easy Roll (not Pickleroll) court material, the latest advanced material, supplied by our court partner Pickleball Management.
Many of you have asked about what happens if it rains, given the foreast. We do have an indoor facility with MLP-level pro courts and pro nets, courtesy of our sponsor Pickleball Management, in a very close location to the Hyatt that is a backup venue to run all our events there. It's just a few minutes drive.
Please know that this indoor solution was part of the stipulation required by the Pickle House pros for us to host them this week in Monterey.
We will release the location in advance as soon as possible before the Wednesday and Saturday dates, and any other dates with the threat of rain. All participants for that day will be notified by text and/or email.
Note that the scheduled start times may be modified for the morning ladders, due to the indoor facility having only 4 courts setup at this time, and some ladders may be split into 2 pools to be run at 2 different start times. Some afternoon clinics & other events may potentially need to be moved later in the day due to weather, and/or another day.
We will do our best to ensure our events run to accommodate the most people! Please also see the Refunds & Cancellation policies on the FAQ page as well.
