Depending on your skill level (beginner, advanced beginner, intermediate, and advanced) there are scheduled times (10:00 a.m.) and scheduled locations for each skill level. You just show up and get in line to play. These venues get quite crowded in the winter. Before 10 am., the courts are open play and again, just show up. The skill level at early open play is generally on a higher level. The Pickled Babes and Dudes play at Manatee every morning. It is an open group and the skill level is generally advanced beginner and intermediate. You can become associated with groups after noon by looking in the recreation guide and showing up and asking, or word of mouth about who runs the group. The weekly recreation guide also lists a number of groups and their contact.
