The Hames Center

Sitka, Alaska's The Hames Center offers three indoor pickleball courts at a community-driven non-profit open to all skill levels. Courts run on portable nets, and the facility maintains a clear weekly schedule: beginner and social play on Tuesdays and Thursdays at noon, intermediate-and-up sessions at 4 PM on those same days, and competitive morning play Saturdays at 9 AM. Players rated 4.0 and above can arrange additional court time by appointment. Entry is $8 for drop-in visitors and includes access to the broader gym facilities, with membership options also available. Paddles, balls, and nets are provided, making it accessible for newcomers. Visitors note that staff are helpful and the facility is clean and well-maintained.
