Court Safety & Etiquette

Safety

If you have any concerns about your physical/mental ability to play Pickleball, consult your physician prior to playing.
Play in appropriate sports attire (non-marking court shoes, loose clothing, shorts, t-shirt, sweat towel, protective eyewear, etc.)
Under 16 years of age, protective eyewear is mandatory.
Over 65 years of age, protective eyewear is mandatory.
Bring a water bottle and any type of loose snack. It is important to stay hydrated and have enough nutrition while playing.
Always stretch and warm up before play to reduce risk of injury and prepare for activity. Always stretch and cool down after playing to reduce risk of injury.
NEVER run backwards. If a shot goes over your head, pivot or turn around to chase the ball or let your partner get it for you.
Never chase the ball onto another court without looking. When a ball goes into another court, call “BALL ON COURT” immediately to stop play. Raise your hand indicating it is your ball and wait for it to be returned to you.
If the surface becomes moist from any spills, suspend play and contact the front desk for assistance.
If you have any eyesight issues, wear a hat, glasses, or any type of protective eyewear needed.
If an injury or emergency occurs during play, immediately stop all play and contact the front desk for assistance or call 911 if needed.

*We have zero tolerance for any disrespect towards staff, players, and any other individuals in the facility.*

Always be friendly and cheerful to other people on the court.
Always introduce yourself to other players.
Use appropriate language/body language on court.
Players should only call their lines on their side of the court. Do not disupte an opponent’s call.
Play with honest and integrity.
If you or your teammate cannot agree on a call, the call is to the benefit of your opponents.
Each server must call the score before serving. If you are unsure of the score, you can ask your teammate.
Have respect for your teammates and opponents.
At the end of the game, players should tap paddles over the net and thank each other for the game.
If any barriers, benches, coat hangers, garbage bins or other equipment were used, they should all be returned to their original position.
Do not litter on the court. Any garbage, water bottles, broken balls, etc. should be disposed of properly.
Be conscious of your court start and end time. Players should not be staying on court later than their booking without approval.
Personal equipment should be initialed with your name to avoid lost or stolen items.
Any items that you find on the court that don’t belong to you should be reported to the front desk or placed in the lost and found bin.
