I recommend that we go with option 1: Atlanta Pickleball Center There are no court fees for the reservation, but they charge by the hour for each person. Prices start at $12 per person per hour, and there is a sliding scale for discounts depending on the size of the group.

For Sunday, I booked 2 courts for 3 PM. I can cancel up until 9 AM that day, so I hope to see enough interest to justify the booking.

They open at 8 am during the weekdays, and they don't expect that I will need to book the courts ahead of time. However, there is a corporate event on Monday, so only Tue & Wed are available.

This club is 3.9 miles away from the conference hotel, and takes about 14 min to drive there.

I recommend signing up in the Court Reserve app, and then sign up as a guest member for the Atlanta Pickleball Center (club link for app). You'll need to enter your contact info and sign a waiver online.

Painted Pickle (option 2) is also about 15 minutes away. But they don't open until 9 am on weekdays. (NANOG sessions start at 10 am, but there are breakfast events that start at 9 am)

Ace Pickleball Club (option 3) opens at 6 am! But it is far away (30 min drive) and expensive ($45/person/day). No court bookings available unless you're a member, but 6-7 am should not be a problem.
