I’m very new to Pickleball, so I decided to take a beginner’s course and I was lucky enough to learn from Coach Adam. His teaching style is clear, encouraging, and incredibly effective. He helped me adjust and improve the areas I was struggling with, and I can confidently say that you’ll definitely understand and elevate your own game after learning with him. The court also provides equipment for trial use, and signing up for a class couldn’t be easier just grab your jacket and come to the court! I have no affiliation with the place; I’m simply sharing my genuine experience. My journey toward better health truly began when I took that first class here.

I was visiting town for my birthday and Gotham game up first on my search. Thankfully it was train accessible and it was a great walk to location. I was also delighted that it was autonomous and you have to refer back to your reservation to unlock the door. Super cool! The individual running the open play was very welcoming and helped me go to the right courts. Great facility with cameras for replays to capture the fun plays. Clean bathrooms. Stocked up fridge for drinks. The best part, everyone was super nice and helpful when I played. Pickleball is about community and I’m happy for this community to be amazing. I’m glad I played my first open play in Gotham, I’ll be back!

State of the art Pickleball space. Basic but solid for NYC I love that you can record your shots by tapping a button to the side of the court… or if you want to pay you could have your entire match sent to you, but the little excerpts are free for fun shots to share with friends… It’s a pretty basic space there’s not a ton of lounge area, but Decent ceiling height -enough space around the courts, digital entry- discount rates for playing off peak, I don’t have a 9 to 5 so I can go in the afternoon and play with lots of enthusiastic Pickleballers, there’s a citibike station right at the entrance so it’s easy to get to from subways. A large, simple, clean bathroom, water fountain with bottle filler… And the app they have shows you all the different activities that are happening so you can book it ahead of time. It’s pretty efficient. No food or bar… But on the same block and maybe a block down there’s tons of little places, including the Gutter, which is open late.

Gotham has 4 great quality courts for Pickleball play and is a hybrid customer experience meaning all bookings are done online and there are no registration tables at the front entrance. Instead the facility has an app you can download to book space or programs and then you can enter the facility at a designated time via the app. You can play here at a member or a non-member anytime and book private court rentals or enjoy different programs (open play, clinics, or tournaments). They do typically have at least one coach on site helping to facilitate any questions so to speak with about the company / programs / pickleball. Highly recommend this place. I’ve been coming here for 3 months now and the organized play has helped my game improve tremendously versus playing for free at the public courts. Playing at public courts is nice but the progress to improving is slower because you don’t always get to play people at our level or play in the most consistent conditions. Additionally courts are courts are also fully run on PodPlay technology to help you keep track of your points, add games to DUPR and save instant replays!

Amanda is an amazing pickleball coach who is both knowledgeable and incredibly patient. She made every lesson fun, easy to understand, and tailored to my level. I highly recommend Amanda to anyone looking to improve their game and confidence on the court.
