Play Times & Schedule

Our group uses Playtime Scheduler to post most of our play dates. Load the scheduler app and select Isle as the location. Play dates will appear. We have been limiting indoor sessions to 20 players because we only have three courts. Additional sessions are scheduled as needed.

Spring has sprung! We are now playing outdoors, and have access to six outdoor courts at Isle High School, six outdoor courts at Izaty’s Resort, and the three indoor courts at IREC. Most days will focus on the high school and IREC courts.

The Isle Area Pickleball Association is a group of well over 100 enthusiastic players who play year round. Our vision is to make Isle a destination location for recreational and competitive players to gather and enjoy friendly competition. Click the ‘Learn More’ button to learn more about us.

We have open play Tuesday and Thursday at 8:45 AM, Wednesday at 6:00 PM. You can usually find games scheduled on the weekends also.
