This is the kind of spot you want to share only with your good friends. The courts have lights, tight nets, blue playing surfaces free of cracks and ragweed, and plenty of free parking. If the Highlands park courts are full, just head down Arlington Ridge and check these babies out.

At the Y, there are six pickleball courts, striped over three tennis courts. Court surface is great compared to other courts in the Arlington area. There are times/options for all level of play and many sessions are marked for specific levels of play so you know what you're signing up for. It does occasionally struggle with HVAC issues but they address it as much as they can, considering the age of the facility. But they are planning a renovation/new facility, so that's great. And consistent with many pickleball communities, the Y's efforts - drop-ins, tournaments, WhatsApp groups, etc. - have fostered a great community.

We're talking a soccer field, baseball field, volley ball are, tennis courts, and a really large play area for kids that is fenced off. There are also several park benches and a few of them have the roof canopy for those doing the picnic thing. I even saw a baseball practice area which is also enclosed. When I came today in a Sunday, there were several groups playing tennis and about twenty people playing volleyball which was cool. Having been stationed here for a short period of time, I wasn't even aware that the park existed. The park is located next to a library and it seems like there are also several condo buildings nearby.

Coach Neal has written his own book on how to play tennis recreationally. He understands that the amount of time you and I can put in is different than the amount of time a pro can put in. Taking that into account, as well as neuroplasticity and racket technology, he has developed a method that improves consistency and accelerates progress. In addition, he cares greatly about helping his students. Not just in terms of making progress but also making sure we get our money's worth. He's ready to give.

Two of my kids, ages 13 and 7, have been taking classes with one of the Play Your Court instructors…read morefor about 8 weeks now. I love that my kids can just walk up to the neighborhood court by themselves and get a private lesson. (We just paid $10 more per lesson to add a child.) Classes would have been cheaper, but I couldn't find any near us at convenient times. Now we get to schedule our lesson when we are free (although we have been sticking with a pretty regular time of Sunday mornings). Private lessons are definitely more expensive than classes, but I've heard that instructors can run $50-100 per hour, so we feel that we are getting a pretty good deal. My kids really look forward to their lesson, and were sad at the thought of suspending lessons during winter. Their instructor, Jen, is very kind, patient, and thorough with working on all the different strokes and skills. This program has been a great solution for us because of the convenience and flexibility, as well as the low-key nature and special attention of private lessons.
