Pickleball Open Play

Generally, “Open Play” means three things:

• Court 3 to 6 are reserved for pickleball.
• Open Play is generally unhosted.
• The “Etiquettes of Play” apply (see etiquettes below).

Etiquette Of Play

• Please introduce yourselves prior to play and tap paddles after play.
• Winning teams play two games. When multiple players are waiting, it is four off and four on after one game.
• Please use paddle holders to hold your place in line for the next game.
• The “train-side” (north) serves first. If you don’t know which is the train-side, just wait a few minutes and you’ll figure it out.
• Please call out scores before serving and call lines confidently. Spectators should not call lines. If a player cannot call a ball “out” definitively, or teammates make conflicting calls, the ball is “in.”
• Do not walk across the back of any court during live play. If your ball rolls onto another court, the new rule is to allow those players to call “ball on” and stop play, unless you feel there is imminent danger for them. Then, you can call “ball on,” but please do not run onto their court to retrieve your ball; ask for their assistance.
• Profanity is prohibited. Violators may be asked to leave.
• Loma Linda University is a non-smoking campus. No smoking or vaping.
• Alcohol is strictly prohibited.

Days And Times For Club Play

• Monday–Thursday evenings, from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m.
• Sunday mornings, from 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. The facility opens Sundays at 5:30 a.m.
• The only exception is when intramural leagues are scheduled.

Drayson Center’s pickleball courts now have a special place for spectators to view the action on Court 3. The fence has been lowered significantly and bleachers installed to allow for match viewing. The bleachers will allow spectators at pickleball tournaments and other events to “get up close and personal” with the matches taking place.

Private Pickleball Lessons

Private pickleball lessons are available by request for 60-minute or 90-minute sessions of instruction.

Loma Linda Pickleball Club Etiquette Of Play

• Please introduce yourself before every game. Tap paddle handles at conclusion of game.
• Train side serves first at Drayson Center. (Most places have a “side” that serves first, so find out what that is.)
• Call the score loudly before you serve.
• Call balls “out” on your side loudly.
• Spectators should not call lines
• If you’re not sure if in or out, play as if it’s in
• Immediately stop play when “ball on” is called.
• “Ball on” should only be called if it is a safety issue (rolling on someone’s court) or may affect the point at that time.
• Rolling along the fence does not constitute a safety issue, so do not disrupt the other court’s rally; wait till they are done that point and then ask them to retrieve your ball for you.
• Do not run onto someone else’s court to get your ball–wait for them to finish play and then ask them to retrieve your ball.
• Winning team plays max 2 games then comes off; if people waiting–4 off/4 on.
• Use paddle holders to save your spot for next game.
• Do not walk across back of court during live play. Don’t linger behind on court.
• Refrain from profanity, alcohol use, and nicotine products.
