Volunteer
The whole thing runs on volunteers
No staff, no contractors — every reserved court, taught beginner, and swept surface is a player who raised a hand. Join them.
Court Ambassador
Welcome new players and teach GLP's conventions — basic rules, scoring, paddle stacking, and court etiquette. It's a thankless job with no perks, and the heart of the welcome GLP extends to every new player.

Court advocacyEquipment & courts
Sweep courts, haul nets, manage the ball supply, and keep the complex playable. Unglamorous, essential, and weirdly satisfying.
