Programs and Lessons
Westside offers many types of weekly programming options as well as the opportunity to book lessons directly with our coaches. All sessions are booked through our CourtReserve app. Check out our booking page (coming soon) for weekly programming options to sign-up for each week.

OPEN PLAY
Organized, skill-based open play sessions grouped by level (Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced) to ensure balanced, competitive, and enjoyable games. These are recurring, stand-alone sessions that allow players to consistently play with others at a similar level. Sessions are primarily for members, with a limited number of drop-in spots available to non-members, space permitting.

LADDER PLAY
Skill-based weekly ladder sessions designed for members who enjoy competitive play and tracking their progress through rankings. New members may join at any time and work their way up the ladder at their own pace. Both doubles and individual ladder play options are available, offering flexibility and variety.
Members only.

KING OF THE COURT
Social and fun session where players move up or down courts based on wins/losses, aiming to stay on the top court as longs as possible, games scoring to 7. Winners advance, losers drop down, new partners form. The goal is to be the last team on the top court.
Members only.

LEAGUES
Skill-based divisions by doubles, mixed doubles and random match-ups over a fixed number of weeks. Members sign-up for full 10-week session that takes place on the same day/times each week. Open to members and non-members.
Members receive a 10% discount.

SOCIAL MIXERS
These sessions are designed to emphasize fun and community over intense competition. Players rotate partners and opponents throughout the session, creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for all skill levels. After play wraps up, coffee and refreshments are provided, giving members a chance to relax, socialize, and get to know other players off the court.
Members only.

CLINICS
Specialized clinics will be offered frequently with varying focuses per session. For example, Learn-to-Play will be offered as a 4-week course and included in membership fees. Clinics will be open to members and non-members.
