Open Practice

2025 NorCal ORC Practice Guidelines

1. Open practice schedule is listed in the table below.  

2. During practice hours, only players and coaches with approved badges are allowed in the field of play.  No parents please.

3. Complimentary practice - due to high numbers of participants in this ORC, we will separate the complimentary practices to two groups

A.  Bay area players: Practice courts are arranged as Junior Nationals - practice by club(s) on 11/2 (Sunday prior to the ORC) as schedule in the table.  1-hour session per club, no exception and no change of time slot.  Only players on the final ORC participant list can enter the gym to use the practice courts at the pre-assigned time slot.  All other players can pay $18 drop-in fee to enter the gym.    

* If you would like to play beyond 1 hours, there should be courts available throughout the day.  A CourtReserve account is required to book additional courts at other time slots (for a fee).  Available courts are limited, so please book as early as you can.
