Yes. Using the Court Reserve app, a member is able to reserve a court up to eight days in advance. Non members can reserve a court one-two days in advance. Ocean State Pickleball Club Pickleball utilizes CourtReserve to book courts and sign up to play. Please download the app or go to courtreserve.com and click on: “create your free account”. As soon as you set up your free account, you are able to reserve courts through the CourtReserve app.

Free “Drop In” is a regularly-scheduled, organized event where players can show up to play without a partner. Here at OSP we offer our members up to 18 hours of free leveled drop ins per week! Players rotate in and out to mix/match with others of similar skill levels, creating a fun, dynamic, and social environment. “Drop Ins” are a great way to meet other players and experience the club for free. If you do not want to play with different partners throughout the session, and prefer to stay with your group, you should reserve a court instead. Spots are limited for Free “Drop In” so make sure you pre-register.

There is a bathroom but no showers. We do not have lockers, but we do have a lobby/sitting area where you can keep an eye on your things.

You can bring small snacks and beverages. Only water is allowed on the courts. Groups are only allowed to bring food if they are renting out the entire facility. Coming 2023: OSP will be providing some Food & Beverage offerings.

Yes! We will be hosting OSP skill level tournaments, as well as some potential large tournaments throughout the year.

No, members may borrow equipment (paddles) if they forgot their own. Registered guests can rent a paddle for $5 per day/session. You do need indoor court shoes, however. Indoor
court shoes are shoes that are appropriate for playing (athletic/tennis/pickleball/running shoes), that are free from the debris of the Rhode Island outside environment (snow/salt/mud). You do need to bring your own pickleballs to use. If you don’t have your own, OSP will have some available for purchase at the front desk.

Looking to get some balls of your own? You will want outdoor balls for OSP play, because these are outdoor courts in an indoor setting.

Hours are subject to change throughout the year. Please check Court Reserve for our hours for any specific day.

During Prime Time, the member cost is $39 for 90 minutes. The non-member cost is $80 for 90 minutes. You may have up to 6 players for each court reserved. There is Free Drop IN play several days of the week for members only.
