What the three days are made of

Thirty-four hours, broken into thirty-eight sessions.

7 Drills & skills campsTaught by Flying Pickle instructors.

7 Competitive eventsFor the players who came to compete.

6 Board & card gamesIncluding MahJong. Companions welcome.

3 Crafting classesCompanions welcome.

3 Try something newFormats you have probably never played.

2 DiscussionsCompanions welcome.

The first three groups are for registered players. The last four are open to registrants and the people they bring, which is why a partner who does not play still has somewhere to be for three days.

Two ways to spend the weekend

Come to compete. Or come for the people. Both work here.

If you came to play

Fourteen hours of real pickleball instruction and competition.

Camps and competitive events are registrant-only, so the courts are not shared with a drop-in crowd.

What the $200 covers

One price. Nothing else to buy at the door.

Hours of programming

Every session across all three days is included. No per-event fees, no add-ons.

Meals together

One dinner, one lunch, and an ice cream social. Eating together is half of how a room like this works.

Swag

Every registrant walks out with Pickle Jam Plus gear.

Indoor courts

Permanent cushion surfaces, spectator seating, a restaurant and a pro shop on site. Free parking.

Bring them along

Your partner does not have to play to have a weekend.

Fourteen of the thirty-eight sessions are open to registrants and their companions: the board and card games, the MahJong, the crafting classes, and both discussions. They are on the same floor, in the same building, for the same three days.

This is the part most pickleball events do not have. If the answer has always been "I'd go, but they'd be bored," this is the event where that stops being true.

Bring your people

Sign up five, get 10% back.

Register as a group of five or more and every one of you gets a 10% credit for snacks and merchandise across the weekend. On a $200 ticket that is $20 each, back in your pocket, spent on site.

The Kitchen restaurant is excluded from the credit.

Where it happens

Eighteen indoor courts, and somewhere to sit when you are done.

The Flying Pickle, 20 minutes from downtown Boise in Meridian, Idaho. Permanent cushioned courts, real spectator seating, The Kitchen restaurant, a mezzanine lounge and a pro shop, all under one roof. April in Idaho can do anything it likes outside; none of it reaches the courts.

Getting here

Boise, Idaho. Easier to reach than you would think.

The courts are in Meridian, on the west side of the Boise valley. Twenty minutes from the airport, twenty from downtown. Put this address in your phone, not "Boise".

Thirty-four hours.
One room.
People from across the country.

The hours are what gets you to click. The people are what you will remember. Registrations are limited so that everyone actually gets to play.
