Pickleball: Arranged Play, Lessons, & Training
Tuesdays, 5:15-7:15pm (Early Session) & 7:30-9:30pm (Late Session) – McGinnis Gym
Wednesdays, 5:15-7:15pm (Early Session) & 7:30-9:30pm (Late Session) – DPCA
$20 per “Group” | Maximum of 3 “Groups” at DPCA and 2 “Groups” at McGinnis Gym Per Session Per Day
Ages: 16+ | Darren Patterson Christian Academy and McGinnis Gym (Next to Avery Parsons Elementary)
Registration for ALL March & April 2026 dates at both DPCA & McGinnis Gym opens on Thursday, February 19th at 12:00pm (noon).
Register your pickleball “group” to use the DPCA Gym or the McGinnis Gym (located next to Avery Parsons Elementary) on a Tuesday evening (McGinnis) or Wednesday evening (DPCA) for arranged play, lessons, and/or training! We will be offering two separate sessions each day. The early session on Tuesday and Wednesday will be from 5:15-7:15pm and the late session will be from 7:30-9:30pm. “Groups” may only reserve one court in one session per day. “Groups” are NOT allowed to reserve a court in both sessions on the same day. The DPCA gym has 3 pickleball courts, so there will be a maximum of 3 “groups” per session per day at DPCA. The McGinnis Gym has 2 pickleball courts, so there will be a maximum of 2 “groups” per session per day at McGinnis. Each “group” that reserves a spot will get their own court for that session.
This indoor season we will be using the same reservation system to reserve court times for anyone interested in pickleball arranged play, lessons, and/or training. A “group” can be as large or as small as you want it to be, but you only get to use one court with your reservation.
Below is a step-by-step guide on how to register your group to be one of the groups allowed to utilize the gym’s pickleball courts on a given Tuesday evening, Wednesday evening, or Saturday afternoon. All Arranged Play reservations will be managed through BV Rec’s registration system ActiveNet. If you do not already have an account created with ActiveNet, you will be prompted to create one. Without an account, you will be unable to register your group for a session.

Please select one person from your group to be your group’s “representative” for that session. (From week to week, the group “representative” can change as often as you would like.)
The selected person will make sure to select the activity with the correct date you wish to register your group for.
Please follow the prompts to either log in to ActiveNet, if you already have an account, or create an account, if you have yet to do so.
Just like online shopping, you will be prompted to go through steps of “putting the registration in the cart” and then “checking out” to pay for your group’s reservation. (If you do not want to cover the entire $20 fee for your group, you will need to pay up front, and then ask those in your group to reimburse you.)

Groups will need to pay $20 up front via the online system to use one pickleball court in either gym per session on your selected date. Each DPCA session will have a maximum of 3 groups allowed to register and use the gym that day. Each McGinnis Gym session will have a maximum of 2 groups allowed to register and use the gym that day. A group can consist of as many players as you want or it can be a solo person or couple. No matter the number of people in your group, you are considered one group and will only have access to one court for that session.
All participants must have a signed 2026 BV Rec waiver on file and sign in on that session’s sign-in sheet. Individual players do not have to pay BV Rec. Group “representatives” that reserved for their group had to pay the $20 fee when registering. Players may pay back their group “representative” if they would like to and/or if the group “representative” requests players to do so.
Groups must register online ahead of time. Groups are NOT allowed to just show up to either gym with the expectation of utilizing one of the courts. Groups may NOT reserve a court in both sessions (early and late) on the same day. Two players from the same group are NOT allowed to reserve courts on the same day. One reservation per day per group. Please follow the link below to access the Google Sheets document that shows who has reserved a spot and for which session. BV Rec will try their best to keep this document as up to date as possible. This document can be used as a tool to see who has booked a spot, and to possibly reach out to them to see if they need another player. It can also be used by the group “representative” to see which players are already committed to play in other groups, so you know which players you may contact to join your group.
Pickleball Arranged Play Reservations – Winter 2026
THE ABOVE LINK IS NOT HOW YOU RESERVE YOUR GROUP FOR THAT SESSION. Please click on one of the large, red buttons below corresponding to the date and session time you wish to reserve play for your group. This button will take you to our registration system ActiveNet. This is where you will pay the $20 fee and follow the instructions detailed above for your group to have court access at either McGinnis or DPCA. Please do NOT just show up expecting to play unless you have talked to someone that has reserved your group and paid the $20 fee already.
Registration for ALL March & April 2026 dates at both DPCA & McGinnis Gym opens on Thursday, February 19th at 12:00pm (noon).
