We do not offer pickleball courts at UCRC, however there are two courts run by the Standley Recreation Center that does.
No, UCRC is separate from Standley Recreation Center and we have different staffing and operating hours.

Yes, anyone can come to UCRC and use the courts. Start by making a free court reserve account, then call us to reserve a court at 858-452-5683. The prices are $10 per person, or if you are with a member, $8 per person.
We will set up an evaluation for your child to assess what level and class is the best fit for them. We will need to know about prior playing experience, students goals, and commitment level. We reserve the right to remove players from groups if they do not fit the level of the class. If this happens and the payment has already been processed, we will give a full refund or offer credit toward private lessons.
Our progression plan is based on the principle that impatience and desire to move a different ball quickly should never override proper development. Players must display high proficiency in a variety of different categories – including Forehand, Backhand, Serve, Return, Volley, and Overhead prior to transitioning levels. When children transition too quickly, there is a much greater likelihood that they will develop technical flaws to compensate for developmentally inappropriate play. We encourage parents to communicate regularly with their child’s coach on their progress and skills to work on outside of class.
We do not offer refunds or credits and cannot guarantee makeups in the case of rain, though we will try our best to accommodate. If a class is affected more than once in a session due to weather, we will provide an additional makeup class option. We do not offer refunds for a session that is already paid for. If you need to withdraw your child for any reason, we will credit your Court Reserve account to use for future lessons.
Sessions are twelve weeks long and students are expected to commit and sign up for the whole twelve weeks. If there is space available in the class, players are welcome to join midsession. The price will be prorated based on the number of weeks left.
