What’s Included in the Program
Everyone starts somewhere. Learn the rules, scoring, and court basics in a fun, no-pressure environment. By the end of this class, you'll feel like you belong on the court.
This is where good players are made. Build the consistency and control that everything else is built on. You'll leave this class hitting with purpose; not just hoping the ball goes in.
The net is where points are won and lost. Learn to dominate it. Master net positioning, clean volley contact, and the overhead smash that finishes rallies with confidence.
This is what you've been working toward. Step onto the court with confidence, play with the community, and prove to yourself that the journey was worth it.
A reliable forehand and backhand changes everything. Develop repeatable, confident groundstrokes that hold up when the pressure is on.
Every single point starts here. Build a serve you can count on and a return that puts you in control from the very first shot.
This is the class where it starts clicking. Learn the kitchen game, third shot strategy, and how to control rallies; the skills that separate beginners from real players.
Real games. Real situations. Coached guidance the whole way through. This is your dress rehearsal before open play; so when the moment comes, you're ready.

How do I schedule classes?
After registering, classes are scheduled through the Court Reserve app based on availability. You can choose sessions that fit your schedule.
Do I have to take the classes in any particular order?
While it’s recommended to follow the Pathway in order for the best experience, you’re welcome to choose the classes you’d like to take and attend them on your own schedule.
Can I take a class twice?
The Pathway To Play package comes with 8 punches. One punch per class. If you'd like to take a class over again, you are free to do so. Just know, it will take the place of another class. Once passes have been used in totality, you may elect to take additional classes. Class costs range from $25-$35.00
I've already paid and have taken the intro class, should I still buy the package?
Absolutely. Because you've already taken then intro class means you'll have one extra punch to use as you wish to retake a class or use on multiple open plays.
The Core Clinic is 1.5 hours long, can I take this class twice?
Yes, no problem. Simply use one of your punches.
How long do I have to complete all 8 classes?
Take the classes at your own pace. Whether that's 4 weeks or 4 months. Life gets busy, and we get that. Your Pathway to Play package is ready when you are.
What if I miss a scheduled class?
No problem. Simply reschedule through the Court Reserve app and choose a new time that works for you. Classes run on a regular weekly schedule so there's always another session coming up.
What do I need to bring?
Just yourself and athletic shoes with non-marking soles. Some people bring their own water bottle, however we have drinks available if needed. If you don't have a paddle yet, we have loaners available at the front desk. And if you're ready to get your own, our pro shop has everything you need to get started.
Is this program good for older adults?
Honestly, it's great for any age. A lot of older adults have taken the program and absolutely love it. The youngest we would recommend is 12 years old. This is designed so any age can take it and learn.
How is this different from just showing up to open play?
Open play can be overwhelming if you've never played before. Pathway to Play gives you the skills, confidence, and court awareness to actually enjoy open play; instead of feeling lost in it. Think of it as your shortcut from standing on the sideline to being someone people want on their team.
Customer Reviews
Jason Councill
Amazing facility with Cushion X courts that reduce stress on the joints. Courts are spaced and arranged perfectly. A level of play for everyone and the staff is friendly and helpful. Very clean and organized. And you can cold plunge after you play to reinvigorate and reduce inflammation. The premier facility in Greater Houston. Highly recommend!!
Paolo Sagullo
Pace Pickleball Club is probably one of the best facilities in town. Cushion X courts are really nice, layout is well thought out and the staff was very welcoming. I will definitely be coming back and encourage all pickleball players to check them out!

Best pickleball place in Houston!!! My friends and I came here for the first time and can’t say enough about it. The atmosphere was great, the staff were amazing. The man at the desk, Beau, was so welcoming, he was showing us the place and making sure we knew how things worked and where everything was and had the most positive attitude, he made the experience that much better. I can’t recommend this place enough, you must go try!!!
