First Day

We suggest you arrive early on the first day, especially if this is your first time to Georgetown’s campus. When you arrive at Yates Field House, please let the Front Desk know that you are here for a private pickleball lesson and show them your picture ID. The registration will be under the name of the person taking the lesson. You will then be directed to the courts and your instructor will meet you there.

Where do I park, and how do I access Yates Field House?

Pickleball courts are located inside Yates Field House on the campus of Georgetown University.

Sundays: Parking is free at all University garages on Sundays. If you are driving, you can enter campus from Canal Road or Entrance #4 on Reservoir Road. We recommend using the free parking at the Leavey Center Parking Garage. Turn onto the road between Leavey Center and the Hariri Building (Business School) off West Rd – the garage will be signed and to the left.

The parking lot opposite the Field House (Lot Y) is reserved for handicapped members with a valid parking pass issued by OTM, and deliveries. Vehicles illegally parked will be ticketed and towed at the owner’s expense. For questions or further details about parking on campus, contact the Office of Transportation Management at (202) 687-4372.

Give yourself more time as it is about a 5-minute walk up the hill to the Field House.

Cancellations and No-Shows

To cancel an appointment, clients must contact Kathleen Collins-Bell directly at least 24 hours in advance. If not notified within this time frame, you will still be charged for your lesson.
