Life Time marking National Pickleball Month with inaugural Agassi Open Play Day on April 12

Life Time and tennis legend Andre Agassi are some of pickleball's best partners.

Their shared enthusiasm for America's fastest-growing sport is simply immeasurable, so it's no surprise that celebrating National Pickleball Month in style is a top priortity.

On Saturday, April 12 from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. EST, Life Time facilities nationwide are marking the occasion by inviting people to participate in simultaneous open play on their 785 pickleball courts nationwide.

All Life Time members are welcome to participate in the inaugural Agassi Open Play Day initiative. Just use the Life Time app to book a spot. Not a Life Time member? Ask a friend who's a member to contact their club to reserve you a spot. 

"That means across all Life Time Fitness locations in the country, every single court will be having pickleball play going on at the same time," said Agassi via Instagram. "Epic day for the growth of pickleball and the celebration of Life Time’s commitment to pickleball."


A highlight of the day will take place at Life Time Green Valley in Henderson, NV where Agassi will play with other pickleball pros, influential friends and Life Time members beginning at 9 a.m. PST.

Every player participating has a chance to win the new Agassi x JOOLA Pro paddle. In Green Valley, members and guests can participate in the event for $60 with a chance to play with the pros and win prizes. A portion of all proceeds will benefit the Life Time Foundation, supporting youth nutrition, movement and conservation efforts.

"Be out there playing with me," insisted Agassi. "I hope you have a blast."
