Pickleball at the Kaplen JCC on the Palisades 

Pickleball is one of the fastest-growing sports in the country—and for good reason. Blending elements of tennis, ping-pong, and badminton, it offers a fun, fast-paced, full-body workout for players of all ages and skill levels. Whether you’re an experienced competitor or just stepping onto the court for the first time, the JCC is your home for pickleball. 

We offer a wide range of opportunities to play, learn, and stay active. Join us for open play, participate in skills clinics, or connect with our growing community of passionate pickleball players. 

Grab a paddle and meet us on the court!

Indoor Pickleball Guidelines

To keep play running smoothly and ensure everyone gets court time, please note the following: 

  • Check TeamReach the evening before your reservation to see the posted attendance list. 
  • Arrive on time or cancel early so another player can use the spot. 
  • If you expect to be late, please cancel your reservation—courtesy helps the whole community enjoy more play. 
  • After each game, return to the front of the gymnasium to rotate players fairly.
    Rotation is not required when player counts are exactly 4, 8, or 12 and no one is waiting. 
  • No new games should begin during the final five minutes of each session (see posted Pickleball Hours).
