Open Play Court Guidelines:
A court is open, no one is waiting and you want to play? Get out there and enjoy! Once you notice that paddles are stacked for open play, finish your game and adjust to open-play rules and norms. Numbers are dwindling? Be flexible and adjust to what feels right.
Court Times:
The club reserves 8:30 – 12:30 pm for Open Play sessions, Lessons, Tournaments etc. See the Calendar for upcoming special events etc.
Players may still use Playtime Scheduler to set up games anytime after 12:30 pm. Click here if you need help setting up your free PTS account.
Player Conduct: Let’s keep things friendly! We expect everyone to be respectful at all times. Any form of unsportsmanlike conduct, such as the use of offensive language or gestures, will be met with zero tolerance.

MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY:
Open Play (Paddle Stack) from 8:30 am – 12:30 pm. on Courts 1 – 6 with courts 3 and 6 being Challenge Courts.
Paddle Stack: The central paddle stack is used for courts 1 & 2, and courts 4 & 5. Play will follow a 2-on-2-off format unless the paddle stack is longer than 6-8 paddles long at which time the format changes to 4-on-4-off. When the format is 2-on-2-off, players come off the court after 2 games.
Challenge Courts (3 and 6): Players begin play; winners stay on “king-of-the-court style.” New challengers (pairs of two) stack directly outside of the court they are waiting to challenge. Court 3 is a challenge court for the more beginning and intermediate levels and court 6 is a challenge court for the more advanced levels. Winners stay on the court for a maximum of three games, and then they must rotate back to the open play courts for their next game.
SATURDAY & SUNDAY:
Open Play (Paddle Stack) from 8:30 am – 12:30 pm. on courts 1 & 2, and 4 & 5. Courts 3 & 6 are for “design your group of 4.”
Paddle Stack: The central paddle stack is used for courts 1 & 2 and 4 & 5. Play will follow a 2-on-2-off format unless the paddle stack is longer than 6-8 paddles long at which time the format changes to 4-on-4-off. When the format is 2-on-2-off, players come off the court after 2 games.
Groups of Four: Courts **3 & 6: Players form groups of 4 who want to play together and stack paddles in those groups of four outside the court where they will play. After playing a game with the 4 players who decide to play together, all four come off to allow the next group of four on.
**Court 3: Saturday Lesson: Beginner lessons are held on Court 3 each Saturday morning. If needed, lessons have priority on Court 6 as well. This court becomes a 4-on-4-off, design-your-group court when the lesson ends.
