Pickleball • 13 Lighted Courts
Pickleball Courts in Torrance
Thirteen lighted courts, open play five days a week, and a hub we built for more than 500 members and guests.
Why South End
Your regular game, with a crew already here
Thirteen lighted courts, so the game can be before work, after work, or all Saturday morning.
Open play is easy-going and welcoming, mostly beginner through intermediate, and the stronger games have their own session. The hub shows you who is coming before you drive over. When the last game ends, the rest of the club is right there.
- 13 lighted outdoor courts, 3 of them hybrid paddle tennis courts
- Members can reserve courts up to one day in advance
- Open play daily!
- A Pickleball Hub we built, with over 500 members and guests
- Leagues and a duo ladder, open to non-members when a season is open
- A heated pool, full fitness center, sauna, steam room and on-site dining a few steps away
Ways to play
Find the game that fits your week
Open Play
Monday and Wednesday, 9–11 AM and 5:30–9 PM. Friday, 9 AM–12:30 PM. Saturday, 8 AM–12 PM, the busiest morning. Sunday, 9 AM–12 PM.
Easy-going, and mostly beginner through intermediate. Members RSVP in the hub and see who is signed up, level and all, before they head over.
League Play
Seasonal doubles. One league day a week for your division, six weeks, then playoffs. Schedule, lineups, scores, and standings live on the hub.
Sign up solo or with a team. When a season is open, non-members can register too.
Duo Ladder
Bring a partner and keep them for the session. Winners move up a court, from the bottom court to the top court by the clubhouse. The top three courts score points each week.
The season's day, level, and standings are posted on the hub. Sign up as a pair, or solo and get paired.
South End Pickleball Hub
A hub we built for our own players
South End is proud to have its own Pickleball Hub, with over 500 members and guests.
One login covers open play, league, the duo ladder, events, Social, and the message board. Set your level from 2.0 to 5.0, see who is already signed up, add a session to your calendar, and invite someone by email, link, or a QR code.
Reserving a court is separate. That grid lives in the club app, by phone, or at the front desk.
In the hub
Where the week gets planned
Open Play RSVP
See the names and levels for a session, then take a spot. Add it to your calendar from the hub.
Advanced Open Play
Competitive sessions for players around 4.0 and up. Members and guests. Guests pay per session. If you are close, staff can open it for you.
League schedule and scores
Your division's day, the lineup, the score, and the standings, in one place. Captains invite players from the hub.
Ladder standings
Sign up with a partner or on your own. Points from the top courts add up across the season, and the board is on the hub.
Events and mixers
Tournaments and mixers through the year, some of them member-only. The Halloween Mixer and Beachlife x Tito's both landed here. The upcoming list, and your registrations, live on the hub.
Social and the message board
Find a player, send a friend request (it sticks when you both say yes), and join a group by level. The board is for updates, carpools, and a rally invite.

Lessons and the program, from a South Bay local

Brandon Hooker
Director of Pickleball
Brandon grew up in the South Bay and trained at West End in his youth, so he has a vested interest in our club being the pinnacle of racquet sport facilities. He's an excellent pickleball player and coach with formal training, and his goal is to enhance the member experience and grow our program.
Brandon is detail-oriented and ready to help with any pickleball questions you have. Fun fact: his favorite hobby is playing pickleball with his wife.

A court of your own
Reserve one when open play is not the plan
Beyond open play, members whose membership includes pickleball can reserve a court. Getting a court is rarely an issue.
Book up to a day ahead, from 6 AM, in the club app, by phone, or at the front desk. The front desk also books walk-ins when a court is open. Each booking is 1.5 hours, with no court fee on Elite and Pinnacle memberships.

Questions
Before you visit
What is the reservation policy?
Members book up to a day ahead, from 6 AM, in the club app, by phone or at the front desk, and the front desk also books walk-ins when a court is open. Each booking is 1.5 hours, with no court fee on Elite and Pinnacle memberships. Getting a court is rarely an issue. Open play needs no court booking, and the Pickleball Hub is not the court grid.
What is the Pickleball Hub for?
South End is proud to have its own Pickleball Hub, with over 500 members and guests. It is where you RSVP for open play, see who is coming, join a league or the duo ladder, follow events, and find a game through Social and the message board. Court time on the day-ahead grid stays in the club app.
Will I find players at my level?
Yes. Open play is easy-going and mostly beginner through intermediate. Advanced open play is for stronger games, around 4.0 and up. Leagues run in divisions, and the ladder posts its level on the hub. Your profile carries a level from 2.0 to 5.0, so you can see who is signed up around you.
Can I play if I am not a member yet?
You can join a league or the duo ladder when that season is open to non-members, and advanced open play is open to guests around 4.0 and up. A reserved court is for a member whose membership includes pickleball, or for their guest with a guest pass. To play regularly, pickleball comes with Elite and Pinnacle memberships, and a tour is the easiest way to find the one that fits you.
How do league and the ladder work?
League is doubles, one day a week for your division, six weeks, then playoffs. Mixed divisions play one man and one woman on a side. Co-ed divisions can pair any way the team likes. Players are 18 or older, or younger with a guardian's consent on file. The ladder keeps you with one partner for the session, moves winners up a court toward the clubhouse, and gives the top three courts the week's points. Fees and dates change by season, so the hub has the live ones.
Can I take lessons?
Yes. Lessons are for members and run by Brandon Hooker, the Director of Pickleball: (310) 251-3804 or pickleball@southendclub.com.
