August 8 is National Pickleball Day, the one day a year the whole pickleball community celebrates together. Courtside Bash is how Picklr throws the party: open courts all day, free for members and first-timers alike, and the whole club is invited.

Drop in between noon and 6pm at any Picklr club. Courts run on a paddle-up rotation. Staff keep the rotation moving so everyone gets on.
