SKEDDA RULES

  • All members will be set up with a SKEDDA account to reserve time for the hardcourt

  • Times may be reserved for courts 3 days (72 hours) in Advance

  • The person booking the court is the “captain”. The Captain must include the names of all other members playing in that time slot.  

  • You should have your group together before reserving a court.  (ex:  You shouldn’t grab a court and then go on teamreach and ask “who wants to play on Friday?”)

  • Guest should be listed by guest and their name  (Guest- Bob Jones)

  • All members should be listed so we can accurately track court usage

  • Proper shoes and equipment should be used at all time.   See below for the type of pickleball that must be used.

  • No more than 6 players on any court during one block of time. (we have increased this from 4 to handle what we believe will be an increase in usage this summer)
