New Paddle Stacking Rules
Effective Monday, June 1, 2026
- The following Paddle Stacking rules are to be followed during ALL open hours of the Recreation Center when pickleball courts are designated for play. There will be no more board play, open play where we split winners / losers, or a change for the 11 o’clock hour.
- The only time a court will not be applicable to Paddle Stacking rules is when a scheduled class, drill session or skill class is being conducted.
- When there are an ample number of players and all courts are full, everyone waiting to play will manage this format of play under the Paddle Stacking rules.
- When all courts are full, all players must come off the court after the game has ended and stack their paddles in the queue. NO individual or group can reserve a court for play, nor stay on the court for more than one game.
- All paddles are to be placed in the paddle stacker in groups of 2, 3 or 4. Each player is responsible for placing their paddle in an open slot that is available. When 2/3/4 players are stacked and there is an open court that group will be next to proceed to the open court for play.
- If you are coming off the court and you see two people waiting to play and looking for others to play against, please come off and play with whoever is waiting. A player coming off the court may stack their paddle into an open spot and go right back out to play if there is availability.
- No paddle should be moved that is not your own. Unless you seek approval from the owner of the paddle and there are open paddle slots to move to. Exception is when the four of you are taking the court.
These are really very simple rules. If you can’t decide if you are doing the right thing, please ask. Please treat all players in the same way you wish to be treated. This is an open facility, and ALL are welcome.
