INSIDE PICKLELAND

A day at the academy

It's more than drills — it's where kids make friends. Between games, water breaks, and team huddles, your kid lands in a crew their own age and actually looks forward to coming back. Homeschooling? It doubles as social time — see our homeschool program.

FAQ

Parent questions, answered.

What age can my child start pickleball at Pickleland?+

Kids can start at age 7. Our Beginner/Intermediate group is built for ages 7–12, and the Advanced group is for ages 12+ (or younger players with coach approval). Every level is welcome — no experience needed to start.

My child has never played — is that okay?+

Absolutely. The Beginner/Intermediate group starts with the basics — grip, serves, dinking, and footwork — in a fun, social setting. Brand-new players are the norm. The easiest way to start is a free trial class.

When do the junior pickleball sessions meet?+

Year-round sessions run Mondays & Wednesdays from 5–6pm — Beginner/Intermediate (ages 7–12) and Advanced (ages 12+) run side by side. Your child can come once or twice a week.

Where are you located?+

Pickleland is at 21427 Martin Lane, Pflugerville, TX 78660 — just north of Austin. Our courts are fully indoor and air-conditioned, so kids play comfortably all summer.

Can my child try a class first?+

Yes — we offer a free trial class so your child can experience a session before committing. To set it up, just give us a call at (737) 265-7002 and let us know which day works.

Is it a good way for kids to make friends?+

Very much so. Between games, drills, and team huddles, kids land in a crew their own age — it's as much social time as it is skill-building. It's also popular with homeschool families; see our homeschool program.
