Private lessons: 1 hour - $60.00 (this includes the court fee)
Semi-Private: 1 hour - $80.00 (this includes the court fee) $40/player

PLACES TO PLAY PICKLEBALL IN THE KC METRO AREA
We have had some new court openings this past week. Congratulations to Kearney in opening their new courts and Blue Springs just announced two new dedicated pickleball courts in Baumgarner Park.
Pickleball is growing in popularity in the Kansas City Metropolitan area. As a result, courts are popping up all over the place. And they’re not just freshly-paved courts—many local parks’ existing tennis courts have been marked for Pickleball to account for the demand.
Whether you’re picking up a paddle for the first time or you’re already a Pickleball pro, here are all the places to play Pickleball in Kansas City Metro Area (changes daily) Keep in mind that most public park Pickleball courts are available on a first-come, first-serve basis, so prepare for a wait.
