Something for everyone!

• Member Play: Court usage priority will be given to members of the Wickenburg Ranch Pickleball Club during the following times: Summer member play hours are Monday through Friday sunrise to 11:00 AM. Spring/Fall/Winter member play hours are sunrise to 12:00 Noon.
• Open Play: Court usage is open to all residents of Wickenburg Ranch. Saturday and Sunday mornings, and all daily hours not shown on the calendar as “member play” or “structured play” are open play times.
• Structured Play: Events will be shown on the club calendar (available for viewing on the wrpbc.com website and on the court bulletin board) and court usage priority will be given to pickleball club members participating in these events (round robins, shoot-outs, ladder play, mock tournaments, etc.). Times for each event will be posted on the club calendar. Please note that players not participating in scheduled play activities should check-in with activity coordinator for court availability during scheduled event times.
• Higher intensity, tournament-style play is scheduled for Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings during member play times on courts #1 - #5, with court #6 being reserved for recreational players. Any overflow high intensity play should be played on courts #7, #8 (tennis court #3) and #9 & #10 (tennis court #2) as needed. 
• Less intensive, recreational-style play is scheduled for Tuesday and Thursday mornings during member play times on courts #1 - #6 as needed. If high intensity/tournament play is desired during member play times on these two days, interested players are requested to use courts #7 - #10 (tennis courts #3 & #2) as needed. 
•  Please visit WRPBC.com, review club bylaws, or contact any Board Member for information regarding guest play.

Inclusion and rotation are the practice!

If people are waiting to play:

• Four players will play a game to eleven points (using the win-by-2 rule).
• If four or more new players are waiting, all players will relinquish the court for four new players and continue this process.
• If there are only two players waiting, a 2-on/2-off scenario should be used.
• If there is only one player waiting, a 1-on/1-off scenario should be used.
• Players waiting should place their paddles in the paddle rack located in the central courtyard area. All Players waiting should have their paddle in the rack and be ready to enter the first available court, rather than any specific court.
• When there are fewer than 4 paddles in the rack, the two losing players will come off the court and the first two player paddles in the rack will enter the court. The two winning players will split, and each will partner with an entering player. If just one new player is entering, winning players will still split.
• All players waiting to play should be ready to enter the courts as a group.
• Monitor your paddle in the queue, be warmed up and ready to play when the time comes.
• Players may not place a second paddle in the queue while playing with another paddle.
• Put your name on your paddle so if you are distracted, your name can be called when it is your turn.
• During all member play hours, doubles play shall receive priority over singles play on courts #1 - #6 when all courts are in use. This practice allows for the greatest number of members being provided court time. Singles play may utilize courts #7 - #10 until such time as there are enough doubles players to fill these courts.

Common courtesy and good housekeeping rule our courts!

• During ‘member play’ times, if available, courts #2 and #5 may be used for drills/clinics/classes until there are enough member players to fill these courts. Priority of usage (for courts #1 - #6) is for member play during times listed above. Drill/Clinic/Class organizers may use courts #7 - #10 during member play times (if not in use by tennis players) but must relinquish court usage to member players should capacity be reached on courts #1 - #6.
• If pickleball is being played on courts #7 - #10 (tennis courts #2 & #3) – please be aware that tennis players are to be given priority usage of these courts should both the stadium court and tennis court #1 already be in use. Pickleball players are to use courts #7 & #8 (tennis court #3) first, then courts #9 & #10 (tennis court #2) if needed. Please see Troon’s court usage policy posted outside tennis court #3 for details.
• If you are using the lower courts (#7 - #10), be sure to remove the temporary nets from the playing area and place them in the storage area before you leave. Please note: Per Troon directive, at no time are chalk markings or tape to be used on any of the tennis courts.
• If you have applied any markings (chalk or painters' tape only) on the pickleball courts, you are responsible for clearing off these markings when you have finished using the court.
• If you are the last group playing, please ensure that all shade umbrellas are folded down and tied, and that all chairs are placed in an orderly fashion.
• Please be sure both pickleball storage bins (located outside courts #3 & #4) are locked.
• Please be sure to take all personal belongings with you when you leave and be sure all trash has been placed in the garbage cans
