My husband and I are renting a home in Cathedral City for the Motnof February 2018. We are hoping to play Pickleball and would love an email of a contact name where we could get some information.

Hi Kare, I’d recommend looking at the USAPA Places to Play site to see if there are any pickleball clubs in that area you could get in touch with. You could also email one of the USAPA ambassadors for your location and ask them what opportunities may be available. Good luck!

Is open play at Demuth Park from 6:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m.? Is that the only time for open outdoor play?

Hi, there – I, too, am a newbie and want to get involved. I spoke with someone about coming to Demuth Park, but have lost the info. Can you please send me specifics as to timing to come and check it out? Thanks so much.

Hi Kathy, if you go to usapa.org and their “Places to Play” section and then choose CA, there are two listings you can find related to Demuth although it seems like they’re for the same community center. There’s open play outdoors 7 days a week (6:30 – 8:30) and indoor play Mon – Fri 7 – 10am located at the Demuth Park Community Center Gym at 3601 East Mesquite Avenue. Indoor play has a $5/day drop-in fee or $50 per/year membership.

We thoroughly enjoyed playing at the Palm Desert Rec Center this past March. The players were very friendly, and the competition was fun for intermediate players. We look forward to playing there again in the near future.

Hi Sandie, I would recommend contacting the pickleball coaches in this post or some of the local clubs. Usually clubs are very welcoming and happy to teach newbies the ropes. The coaches could likely give you some in-depth info as well.

I teach PB in Victoria, BC. Canada at a local community center. We don’t have access to courses which give accreditation for PB instructors or coaches. I will be in the Palm Desert community Jan and Feb. 2017. Are there any courses available to this end? Is anyone willing to give a course? Are there 5.0 players interested in putting something together?
