Open Play
Open Play at SFAP is where the magic happens—just add your paddle to the rack and you’ll be grouped with three other players, rotating onto courts as they become available. It’s the perfect way to meet new players, experience different playing styles, and enjoy a variety of competitive matches in our welcoming, social atmosphere!
How Our Paddle Rack System Works
If courts are available when you arrive, jump right in and start playing! When all courts are full, simply add your paddle to the paddle rack and you’ll be grouped with the next three paddles in line once a court opens up. After your game ends, place your paddle back on the rack to get in line for your next match. Please be courteous by rotating in 2 or 4 new players per court (depending on location capacity) to ensure everyone gets fair playing time!
