In order to comply with Riverside County standards, no more than two foursomes may play pickleball at any time until further notice. As well, the two foursomes must be on opposite sides of the large dividing net.
To address this reduction in court capacity, the board has approved the emergency use of the adjacent tennis court (court 3) for pickleball play. Two courts have now been taped onto court 3. They are numbered court 10 and court 12 so when you use the online booking system, courts 9 and 11 will be the kitty - corner courts on court 2, and courts 10 and 12 will be the two courts on court 3.
Please note that court 3 will revert to tennis use while courts 6 & 7 are closed for resurfacing. This is expected to happen in mid- December.
We ask that all players abide by the new guidelines - no one wants to be a policeman. If a third foursome is found to be playing on court 2, the board will remove the nets from the two remaining courts.
In addition, masks must be worn during play, as the board feels that players cannot stay six feet apart while playing doubles on a pickleball court. A mask must cover your nose and mouth at all times. Playing with a mask on your chin or under your nose does not provide adequate protection. We ask that everyone show enough concern for their neighbors and friends to wear their masks appropriately at all times while on the courts.
