The Y center is a great option for pickleball in the Arlington area. The associate executive…read moredirector is supportive of the program, listens to feedback, and continues to do what she can to make adjustments to address the evolving needs of the community. At the Y, there are six pickleball courts, striped over three tennis courts. Court surface is great compared to other courts in the Arlington area. There are times/options for all level of play and many sessions are marked for specific levels of play so you know what you're signing up for. It does occasionally struggle with HVAC issues but they address it as much as they can, considering the age of the facility. But they are planning a renovation/new facility, so that's great. And consistent with many pickleball communities, the Y's efforts - drop-ins, tournaments, WhatsApp groups, etc. - have fostered a great community.

I personally like the monthly tournaments and the seasonal leagues. TennisDC does an excellent job of keeping the entry fees low and reasonably priced, while still providing great prizes from a sponsor (Tennis Warehouse gift certificates!). I like that TennisDC's website will keep track of your stats like your Win-Loss record (by year and in total), % of games won, and other fun tidbits of info. The people I've played have mostly been friendly and easy to work with on playing times/locations. Every now and then, there will a guy who throws a tantrum on the court. It's annoying, and I just try to avoid playing these people in the future. This seems to happen in every sport men play competitively, and I've seen it less in this league than other ones in DC, but such is life.

Two of my kids, ages 13 and 7, have been taking classes with one of the Play Your Court instructors…read morefor about 8 weeks now. I love that my kids can just walk up to the neighborhood court by themselves and get a private lesson. (We just paid $10 more per lesson to add a child.) Classes would have been cheaper, but I couldn't find any near us at convenient times. Now we get to schedule our lesson when we are free (although we have been sticking with a pretty regular time of Sunday mornings). Private lessons are definitely more expensive than classes, but I've heard that instructors can run $50-100 per hour, so we feel that we are getting a pretty good deal. My kids really look forward to their lesson, and were sad at the thought of suspending lessons during winter. Their instructor, Jen, is very kind, patient, and thorough with working on all the different strokes and skills. This program has been a great solution for us because of the convenience and flexibility, as well as the low-key nature and special attention of private lessons.

I showed up around 10:30 on a Saturday morning expecting the place to be packed and the spray pad to be going. No dice. Only a couple kids here and I soon found out the water jets don't start until noon. Come on Arlington county, you know kids under 5 are up at the crack of dawn on weekends, much to their parent's chagrin. It's a cute park with a nice sand box but the small splash pad wasn't enough to wait another 45 minutes so we split to Drew Park down the street, which has a much more sizeable spray pad and nice playground equipment.
