Daytime play.
For homeschool families.
Tuesday & Thursday afternoon open play for homeschool families — a welcoming place to move, connect, and grow together. It's casual, self-directed play: show up, grab a court, and rally with other homeschool families. Parents are welcome to play too.
Real exercise during the school day — and friendships that last.
Every session.
Built for...
- ✓ Homeschool families with flexible weekday schedules
- ✓ Kids 5+ (adult supervision required)
- ✓ Parents who want to play right alongside their kids
More than a break.
Active play during the school day does more than burn energy — it helps kids learn. A mid-day session sends them back to the books sharper.
Focus & attention
Movement improves focus and lengthens attention span back at the desk.
Memory
Regular physical activity enhances memory and retention.
Mood
A good rally boosts mood and shakes off the mid-day slump.
Problem-solving
Game play supports executive function and problem-solving skills.
Learning through play
Homeschool open play questions
When is homeschool open play? +
Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1–4pm. It's open play, so you can come and go any time within that window.
How much does it cost? +
$5 per person, and it's free for Pickleland members. Reserve your spot on the booking page.
Can parents play too? +
Absolutely — parents are welcome to play right alongside their kids. Adults pay the same $5 per person (and play free if you're a Pickleland member).
Can I just watch instead of playing? +
Yes — spectators watch for free. The $5 only applies to people who play, so you can drop in to watch your kids at no charge.
How old do kids need to be? +
Kids 5 and up are welcome to play, with adult supervision required. Younger siblings are welcome to come along and hang out — there's Jenga and ping pong on site.
Do I need to bring a paddle? +
Paddles are not included, so bring your own if you have one. If not, you can rent a paddle for $5 at the front desk. Balls are provided.
Is there a coach or instructor? +
No — this is casual, self-directed open play, not a coached class. Families organize their own games, and parents are welcome to play alongside their kids. If you'd like structured instruction, take a look at our Junior Academy or lessons.
Where is it held? +
At Pickleland's indoor facility — 21427 Martin Lane, Pflugerville, TX 78660. The courts are climate-controlled, so play runs rain or shine.
