Visitors

If you’re visiting Beachwood and want to join a game, head to the outdoor courts at 25125 Fairmount Blvd. Arriving during the designated open-play blocks (check the city's schedule) gives the best chance to drop in when players rotate in and out. The courts are managed by the city and operate with reservation sessions plus first-come use.

If outdoor courts are fully booked, the indoor club at Life Time – Beachwood offers an alternative for structured play and lessons, though it requires membership or guest access.

To connect with local players ahead of time, check the city’s recreation page or the registration system used for court reservations. This helps confirm open-play times and avoid arriving during a reserved league or clinic session.

Visitors with a temporary Mandel JCC guest pass can join scheduled open-play times or clinics. Non-members should contact the Wellness Department in advance to confirm availability and guest policies before attending.
