OPEN PLAY GUIDELINES:
Open Play is a standard pickleball format of play used by many public courts around the United States.  The concept of open play is that players of all ages and playing skill levels get the opportunity to play with other players of various skill levels. This makes for an enjoyable playing experience and gives players a chance to play up with higher rated players so that their own personal skills can improve. In pure open play there is no set rotation.  People either agree to play with each other as they proceed to the next open court or a “next paddle(s) in line play together” procedure is used.  In Brookville, we have developed a long standing culture that is welcoming to all players, but also gives the upper level players the opportunity to play together during regularly scheduled Open Play times.  You will find that our upper level players will willingly play the first hour or more with players of all levels.  Then towards the end of the session, it is understood that the upper level players will migrate together to play a few final games amongst themselves so that they too can hone and sharpen their games.  That is what keeps our upper level players coming and donating their time during Open Play times. Otherwise they would choose to create their own private play times outside the normal Open Play times.
Thank you for your support of this somewhat unique culture that makes Brookville, Indiana such a popular place to play.
