The basics
How we keep it running
- Predominately volunteer driven — please assist with set up, tear down and ball retrieval
- Sign in every time. We need an accurate count to continue offering pickleball to the community
- Waiver — please fill one out on your first visit
- Level of play — as much as possible, play at your level. This keeps it competitive and enjoyable for all
- Sportsmanship — be positive and encouraging. Remember, it’s just a game
- Paddles available to borrow for free
Court play
House rules
- Curtain side serves first
- Games to 11, win by 2
- Sign in on the whiteboard to play
- Ball management — yell “Ball!” if one rolls onto an active court; let it go and take a ball from the rack, then refill the rack after each game
- To maximize playing time, keep your game moving
