All play is at your own risk. The Club and facility owners are not responsible for any injury, lost, stolen or damaged equipment.
Wear proper sports attire and non-marking court shoes.
Sport safety glasses are recommended.
At indoor facilities, remove outdoor footwear in designated areas. Stow gear away from walkways, not on chairs.
Check in with the Captain before playing.
Do not begin playing until your scheduled start time, even if there are empty courts. While waiting when there are players on court, keep noise levels respectfully down.
The first players due up should immediately commence play.
Only rostered players may play — no substitutions allowed.
Additional venue-specific protocols:
(links to Google Maps directions)Park on the right side of the church toward the rear.
Follow the walkway to the rear entrance double doors.
Courts are down the hall to the right, past the washrooms.
Change area is outside the gym, leave bags in the hallway.
Start serving on the window side, "shift over" when games finish.
Check in via the stage door at the rear by the change area.
Enter/exit the courts via the hall doors to avoid disrupting play.
Enter the auditorium via the main door off the lobby.
Enter and exit the courts via the middle aisle.
Help with equipment set up before the first session and takedown after the last session is always appreciated.
Net takedown: Remove end poles with net attached, bring the poles together, pull the middle of the net in, roll it up and bag it.
Open seasonally from 9 am to 8:30 pm for Club and public play.
Only play when courts are dry.
Bring a lawn chair.
Wait for a break in play to cross another court.
Respect paddle box protocols for equitable court rotation.
Get on/off court promptly when it's your turn to play/exit.
Ensure all players are ready and call out the score before serving.
Call "ball" immediately if your ball strays onto another court. Wait for their rally to finish and ask the players on that court to return your ball rather than entering the court yourself.
Take care of equipment and the space. Promptly report any damages or issues to helpdesk@notlpickleball.ca.
Mind sportsmanship and language. Our venues are shared spaces. Keep play respectful, positive, and inclusive.
Avoid lobbing behind movement-limited players.
With less-skilled players, play down (temper your intensity).
Congratulate opponents on great shots.
Tap paddles with the other players at the net after a game.
