Best value if you play often

Memberships are managed through PlayerCoach, so you can book using your included benefits.

  • Make sure your membership is active in PlayerCoach.
  • Book courts directly from the club view – your member perks apply automatically.
  • Check the membership section for what’s included with your plan.
Great for locals, snowbirds and long-term visitors.
Option 3

Join Events, Socials & Clinics

Most events are booked through PlayerCoach so we can balance skill levels and courts.

  • Go to the Events page on our website to see what’s coming.
  • Use the event’s booking link or instructions to reserve your spot.
  • Arrive 10–15 minutes early for check-in and warm-up.
Perfect for meeting players at your level and improving your game.

Booking FAQ

A few quick answers to common questions about booking through PlayerCoach for Nosara Pickleball.

Still unsure? → Message us on WhatsApp for personal help.
Do I have to book in advance or can I just show up?
We always recommend booking in advance, especially in high season. Walk-ins are welcome, but court availability is not guaranteed without a PlayerCoach reservation.
Does every player need a PlayerCoach account?
Yes. Each person who plays should have their own ATHLETE profile. This keeps bookings and participation clear, especially for events and memberships.
Can I book even if I’ve never played pickleball before?
Absolutely. Many visitors are first-timers. You can book a regular court with friends or ask us about beginner-friendly events and clinics.
What happens if I make a mistake with the time or date?
If you notice the mistake right away, cancel or change it in PlayerCoach if possible. Otherwise, send us a WhatsApp message with your name and booking details and we’ll see how we can help.
What happens if it rains during my booking?
Light rain is usually fine. If courts are unsafe or unplayable due to heavy rain, we’ll coordinate with you through PlayerCoach or WhatsApp to reschedule when possible.
