Smash Courts Pickleball Court and Sports Store is a pickleball store, attached to a premium pickleball court ! The court is available 24 hours a day to use at your own risk. Courts can be booked on COURT RESERVE. Once you have booked a court, you will be given a keycode, which will give you access 10 minutes before your court time, to self-enter into the facility. Please feel free to contact us if you’d like any additional inform.

Our store carries top of the line pickleball paddles, court shoes and gear. We are also a lululemon authorized retailer !

Courts are paid for by credit card, at the time of your reservation, on our on-line booking system 'Court Reserve'. If you prefer to pay by cash or e-transfer, please call us to book your court at 705-742-8880.

No, at our current 799 Erskine facility, we only offer individual court bookings. We do offer packages that reduce the hourly rate if you are using the courts regularly. We are hoping to expand and open a membership based facility in the future.

Drilling in pickleball is practicing and perfecting specific shots (dinking, backhand, serve, spin shots, transition zone shots, third shot drops etc.) through repetition. It can be difficult to perfect shots just through game play.

You can drill with a partner or you can also solo drill. Options for solo-drilling include: using a pickleball machine, doing pickleball wall drills, or self-serving shots etc.

There are endless variations, you can practice all different types of shots (serves/drives/lobs/spins/backhand), from the all over the court (non-volley zone, transition line, base line), at all angles. By drilling and getting the reps in, you will significantly improve your game and confidence on the court.

Sometimes it can be challenging for a drill partner to send you the consistent shots you want to work on, that's where a pickleball machine can help. Our Erne pickleball machine is a great drilling partner, it has preset drills or you can customized it to focus on the areas you want to improve the most. Book with a friend or two so you can all practice together !

You can bring food and drinks (no glass). We also have small snacks and beverages you can purchase with cash, or through Court Reserve. Food is not permitted on the court, only drinks in a well-sealed non-glass container are allowed on the courts.

We currently have demo pickleball paddles that you can try and balls you can use. See our store for all all your equipment needs !

Yes, we have a portable pickleball net, which can be removed to facilitate other sports. If you are interested in using the space for other sports, please contact us by email, or text or phone us at 705-742-8880. Depending on the sport there may need to be adjustments to the nets or equipment that we can try to accommodate.

Smash Courts is located at 799 Erskine Avenue, in Peterborough, ON. To access the courts, please park on the side or rear of the building, and enter on the side of the building through the small steel door. Upon booking a court, you will be given a code to enter to unlock the door in Court Reserve. You are also welcome to enter through the store when it is open.

We require 24 hours notice for cancellations, at which time credit will be given. No-shows or last minute cancellations will not be refunded, however you are welcome to find a replacement. If someone is waitlisted for your court time then they should be given priority to assume your booking, if no one is waitlisted then you can try to find a replacement.

Smash Courts is owned and operated by people who play and are passionate about pickleball. We wanted to offer a

facility for the community where players of all skills and abilities could come to learn, improve, compete, make friends and have fun ! Smash Courts offers, 24 hours a day access, a rubberized dedicated pickleball floor mat, netting in between the full and dinking courts, as well as a pickleball machine. No more putting nets together; balls interfering with your game from other courts and having to book a full court to work on your dinking game. We know drilling is a great way to improve your game and level up in Pickleball.

Smash Courts uses the Court Reserve system, making it easy to find and book times to play. It also offers 'Player Matching', so new players especially can find others of comparable skill to play with !

Staff are available in-person during store hours, and will try to be available by phone after hours.

Smash Courts is a self-entry, 24 hour a day facility that is NOT staffed except during store hours. People are able to book courts and use at their own risk.
