Pickleball Court Rules

Operating Hours

• Pickleball Operating Hours – 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. daily. These hours are subject to change without notice.
• Please do not play before 8:00 a.m. or continue play beyond 10:00 p.m.

Walk-Up And Reservation Play

• Pickleball play is available by walk-up and by advance reservation. Court reservations for 5C and 5D only can be made online at www.wvacourt.org. Note that you must submit the online reservation form and receive approval before you will be permitted to make reservations.
• As a courtesy to other pickleball players, if you determine that you will not use your reserved court, please delete your reservation online no later than 10:00 p.m. the previous night so that the court may be reserved by another group.
• Pickleball play is limited to one hour and thirty minutes. At the end of the one hour and thirty minutes of play, play may continue only if no one is waiting for that court. However, as soon as another party arrives and wishes to use the court, the court must be given up immediately. Players may not go to the chalkboard at the end of their one hour and thirty minutes of play and sign up for another one hour and thirty minutes.
• If you played with a reservation on a court or played on a walk-on court, you may not then switch to play on another court, or continue play on the same court as a guest. Such activity, especially during periods of time when demand for the court is high, limits the ability of others to play and leads to confrontations over court time.

Wait List Rules

• Please sign in on the chalkboard at the entry whether you have a reservation or are a walk-up player.
  Those players not signed in on the chalkboard are subject to being required to immediately release their court to the next group on the waiting list.
• Once a player begins play on a court, even when rotating in and out, they may no longer be on the wait list.
  The wait list is intended only for players not already playing on a court.
• Players (minimum of 2) must be ready to play at their reserved time, or the court will become an open play court to the first name on the wait list/chalkboard.
  All reservation times are based on the clock at the tennis club. There is no grace period.
• Members whose names appear on the wait list/chalkboard must be present when their name is called or forfeit the court.
  Members on the wait list may not leave the facility, or they forfeit their position on the wait list.

Guest Rules

• Guests are permitted, but must play on the same pickleball court as their sponsoring member. 5 guests maximum are permitted per household.

Pickleball General Rules

• Players inside the pickleball area but not playing should take care to ensure they remain clear of the immediate area around the playing surface.
