Court Access: 3 outdoor hard courts, open seasonally (mid-April to mid-September).

You get to combine the love of the game with the crisp, clean mountain air of Wyoming.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find hitting partners of a similar skill level?

The most effective way to find partners is by networking at the Pinedale Aquatic Center (PAC), posting on local Sublette County community bulletin boards, or reaching out through ustawyoming.com. Because the player pool is small, locals are generally very eager to hit with newcomers and visitors.

How can visitors reserve public or private court times for a week-long stay?

There is no complex reservation system needed. The public courts at the PAC operate primarily on a first-come, first-served basis. If you are visiting for 7 days during the summer season, you can simply walk up and claim a court for your matches.

How do I sign up for private or group lessons?

For group lessons, watch the seasonal recreation guides published by the Pinedale Aquatic Center and the Sublette County Recreation Board. For highly specialized or private coaching, you may need to connect with visiting coaches from the Jackson area.

How can 2.0–4.0 players find matches and rallies?

Beginners (NTRP 2.0) to intermediates (NTRP 4.0) will find the most success by attending open community gym nights or inquiring at the PAC front desk about local recreational sports rosters. The community is very accommodating to recreational play levels.
