PROGRAMS & RATES
Sign-ups 24 hours ahead are required for all programs except for the Friday night adult mixer. Drop-ins are accepted, if space is available. We prefer payment by cash or check to avoid the credit card fees, but also accept credit cards. Ask for a financial aid form for Junior tennis, if cost is an obstacle. We support our Juniors!

Pickleball Rules
Pickleball is a simple paddle game played using a special perforated, slow-moving ball over a tennis-type net on a badminton-sized court. The ball is served underhand without bouncing it off the court and is served diagonally to the opponent’s service court. Points are scored by the serving side only and occur when the opponent faults (fails to return ball, hits ball out of bounds, etc.). The server continues to serve, alternating service courts, until server faults. The first side scoring 11 points and leading by at least a 2-point margin wins. For example, if both sides are tied at 10 points, then play continues until one side wins by 2 points.
Double Bounce Rule. Following serve, each side must make at least one groundstroke prior to volleying the ball (hitting it before it has bounced).
Non-Volley Zone. A player cannot volley a ball while standing within the non-volley “kitchen” zone.
