Independence Pickleball (IPBC)

The attendees are growing just as much as the sport of pickleball is. LOVE IT!. Monday nights seems to be a busy night and with three courts of rotation when available.

We know everyone comes to play but with only two courts at this time we must TAKE TURNS and share. 

Suggestions have been made on how to rotate.. There are many ways to do it.  But If it gets out of hand and a court assignment will be designated by me or the leader of the evening.

Higher level players and beginners should mix during the first hour of play. During the second hour it is suggested that the higher 2.5 + level players use the far court and the beginners use the near court. If a third court is available any evening it should be for all players.

If you don't know what level you are see the rating handout in the HANDOUT LINK.. If you need help just ask. 

When you are sitting out you should form a "waiting line".. Whichever court opens up first the next two people will fill in.

Winners should hold the court they win on and split. The next two waiting shall join the court spliting the winners.  

IF it is a busy night and there are more than 4 players in WAITING....Play a Maximum of 2 games in a row and then sit out. Everyone is waiting and wanting to play. So you may win  2 games but you'll need to bow out for the next one.

2 games is about 30-40 min of play time. 

Do NOT start a second game with the same set of players unless you have asked for a switch in players that are sitting out. Please do not 'hog' the court. All players should have the opportunity to play at any court the first hour. Especially on a crowded night.

Do not 'set yourself up' for the court you want to play on the first hour when waiting. It is obvious people are doing this.. I want everyone to enjoy their time and with only two courts most days we have to be courtious to all players. Everyone is paying in some way.

Please try not to set yourself up for a specific court to play on during the first hour of play.. This is "OPEN play" everyone should get a chance to play and get a turn.

Again the second hour is for level play.. If you feel you can play up you need to sit or stand by the court you desire to play on and rotate in. Otherwise play on the court of your level.. This is fair to all.

If you have suggestion of rotation please bring them to my attention.. and they will be concidered for future play. 

Right now Monday nights has the busiest, followed by Tuesday, Sunday and then Thursday mornings.

I am please to be the coodinator for the group and I am hoping everyone is having an enjoyable experience. 

The complaint department is closed during the winter months.
