Some of the best pickleball in Charlotte happens while most people are at work. If your schedule has room before 5:30 PM on weekdays, whether you work remotely, have flexible hours, are retired or simply like an early start, Peak Time Pickleball has a whole daytime lineup built for you. Here’s what’s on offer and why daytime might become your favorite time to play.
Why play during the day?
- Easier to get a court. Evenings and weekends fill up fast. During weekday hours you’ll find more open courts and more open spots in sessions, so you can spend less time hunting for a booking and more time playing.
- Better rates. Many daytime Open Play sessions are just $10, and Peak Day members reserve courts for only $20 per hour on weekdays before 5:30 PM.
- A relaxed pace. Daytime sessions have a friendly, social feel, with plenty of time to warm up, play and stick around for one more game.
