📢 Important Policy Update: The “50 Cent Rule” (Effective November 1)

At Cross Court, we’re committed to keeping pickleball accessible and affordable for everyone — while still ensuring we can grow, improve, and continue providing the best possible experience for our community.

Like most businesses, we face annual rent increases and rising operating costs. To stay sustainable while remaining fair, we adjust our prices once a year. We call this approach The 50 Cent Rule — because, whenever possible, we limit our price increases to small, manageable increments of about $0.50.

Here’s what’s changing starting November 1:

💸 Casual Membership Pricing Adjustments

    •    Casual Court Rentals: $23.50/hour (+ $0.50 per person per hour)

    •    Drop-In Play: $14 (+ $0.50 per session)

    •    Leagues: $54 for a 4-week session (+ $0.50 per week)

    •    Skills & Drills: $17 (+ $0.50 per session)

👉 Serious and Pro Membership pricing remains unchanged.

We’ve worked hard to keep these increases as minimal and fair as possible, ensuring Cross Court continues to be one of the most affordable, community-focused pickleball experiences available.

🔄 New “3-Month No-Change” Policy

Also starting November 1, any membership purchase or upgrade will be subject to a 3-month no-change period. This means once you make a change, you’ll need to keep that plan for at least three months before switching again.

This policy is designed to prevent frequent plan changes and help us keep memberships simple, stable, and fair for everyone. 🏅 MILP Update! 🏅

We’re still looking for a few more DUPR 16 teams to join the fun!

This event is officially supported by DUPR sponsors, who are providing medals and swag for the winners.

Don’t miss your chance to compete, connect, and have a blast on the courts!
